[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can not believe how many of you affluent advantaged people are now online rallying against this.  Have you no shame? As you no empathy? Have you no understanding? This is not designed to hurt your kids, but to help other kids.[/quote]

I do have empathy for others but what about my family? I am the only in my family's generation to go to college (local state u while working). I waited to have kids so my spouse and I could be in a better financial position. Because of that my kids can have a better piece of pie than I did but now that pie is getting sent to someone else. I want my kids to have their pie![/quote]

Your kids have the pie already! They have a stable home life, parents who are engaged and emotionally/physically present, presumably support in areas where they struggle and enrichment in areas where they excel.

Presumably they don't need to work after school, or babysit younger siblings while you and your partner work a third shift.

They have healthy food and clean water.

They have a veritable pie buffet. Congratulations! [/quote]
