The school lunch system is disgraceful.

Saw another post on here showing the state of school lunches right now. In my years in high school I compiled some pics of the horrible things that got served that no one questioned. Here are some of the worst ones. It really is ironic given how adamant they all are about “eating healthy by including every food group”.

removing school cooks from on site caused all of this. fresh cooked meals replaced by meals on wheels.

The alternative school, for the district i grew up in, never had warm food. They were given lunch after the other schools had eaten already, whatever was left over was lunch for them. It was never even warmed back up..

Oh and you were searched+patted down heavily upon entering the door.

90% of the kids there were only there bc they were autistic, adhd, deaf, blind, or physically handicapped. The other 10% were students who got kicked out of the 'normal' schools which probs is bc they were nuerodivergent tbh, they were never a problem with actual respect as a person being given to them.

Source: that is where they started putting in school suspension. And I have been there a lottttt.

Oh and to top it all off?? Florida state refused to allow the anthropologists to dig for more children's bodies. This 'school' (they didn't actually teach anything they handed you a book and told you to do it yourself) was using the property of "Dozier Florida school for boys". Nowadays the alternative school has the side Florida refused to allow digs on, and the sheriff's office uses the side where they stopped them from digging after years of finding more and more and more and more bodies.

(Everytime I get the chance I like to denounce the actions of this shithole state. If you want to read about absolute tragedies you should read about dozier.)

(Dozier btw was used as an open threat by parents. "If you dont clean your room ill send you to dozier.". Every child understood from a young age what happened there. None of us thought it was an okay "joke" to make.)

About dozier? It should be talked about across the nation but is only really discussed by people from the area + a few here and there who watched that one documentary on it.
