Senate Democrats Introduce Bill To Cancel School Lunch Debt Nationwide
"A group of Senate Democrats have introduced a bill that would wipe out student meal debt for kids across the United States.
Sens. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) and Peter Welch (D-Vt.), introduced the “School Lunch Debt Cancellation Act” last week.
Fetterman said there are more than 30 million kids in the U.S. who can’t afford school meals and that the national public school meal debt is $262 million a year.
“‘School lunch debt’ is a term so absurd that it shouldn’t even exist,” Fetterman said in a press release on Monday. “That’s why I’m proud to introduce this bill to cancel the nation’s student meal debt and stop humiliating kids and penalizing hunger.”"
