You taught DC integrity which is valuable. Also,. I'm still hoping they investigated everyone who ticked off these boxes and disqualified anyone who lied.[/quote]

It was not a lie.  To answer no was the real lie, since everyone was eligible for free meals.  People asked the admissions office and were told they could answer yes.  To disqualify someone for answering correctly is unethical.  They could maybe investigate and take away the bonus points.[/quote]

We all know what the questions meant.

Very unethical to misrepresent your family situation.

I guess some people will try to rationalize their bad behavior.

But it wouldn't have matter if you did since their automated software would simply look up whether you were eligible for this in their database. I can't believe these pro-privlege parents are still pushing this conspiracy.[/quote]

What database?  They didn't collect FARMS info during the pandemic, and they can't use historical information since it's unreliable.  Here's an example:  Say a family had an income of $55,000, making them poor but not poor enough to be FARMS.  The supposed database would show them as not FARMS for 2019 and earlier.  At the start of the pandemic, one of them loses their job (which was not uncommon during the pandemic) and their income plummets to $30,000.  You're saying that they should be viewed as fraudulently answering "yes" to the meals questions, since the supposed database would show that they're not FARMS?
