Why is this important?
This petition is to raise awareness for lunch shaming. We want to educate people on this topic so they can fully understand this issue and protect their children from this excruciating embarrassment.
Lunch shaming is a process performed by nearly 50% of school districts in the US. It occurs when children with past-due or unpaid lunch bills are denied food, stamped with a note on their body, or are even publicly humiliated by having their lunch dumped in the trash in front of other students to send the message home to pay their lunch bill. Unfortunately, many children cannot afford to pay for lunch and often school lunch is the only meal these children will receive. Several states have enacted laws to protect children from lunch shaming and we want to do the same here in Colorado. Please help end lunch shaming by signing this petition today.
