To: US Senate Candidate Todd Akin
Save school lunch funding
Mr. Akin: Cutting out funding for school lunches for low-income children is short-sighted and mean-spirited. It goes against our tradition of equal opportunity and traditional Christian social teaching.
Why is this important?
U.S. Senate candidate Todd Akin is reportedly calling for an end to funding for school lunch programs for the poor. This would jeopardize the health and education of significant numbers of our children–and eventually, the well-being of our society.
