🧵"Free Lunch"🧵
A Hard Pill to Swallow?
Incoming progressive, Rep. Wittman (D-Brookings), has announced a legislative proposal for "Free School Lunch," that could quickly fuel the culture fire, depending on how it's funded.
Recently passed SD laws; protecting women in sports, and prohibiting puberty blockers for minors, would quickly be overturned if South Dakota's legislature agrees to accept federal funding for the School Lunch Program.
Under the Biden Administration's amendments to Title IX, South Dakota would also be mandated to incorporate gender identity and sexual orientation throughout K-12 curricula...1/2

The established policies "violate Title IX when they categorically ban transgender students from participating on sports teams consistent with their gender identity."
After redefining Title IX, the Biden Administration then directed the USDA to enforce adherence to the thousand-plus-paged document, by granting investigatory authority over recipients of the National School Lunch Program (FNS).
The action effectively leveraged federally funded school lunch, for mandatory compliance to the Title IX amendments.
“As a result, state and local agencies, program operators and sponsors that receive funds from FNS must investigate allegations of discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation,” USDA said in a statement. “Those organizations must also update their non-discrimination policies and signage to include prohibitions against discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation.”
The change means that schools receiving any kind of subsidized school lunch funding, will now be subject to the new Title IX LGBTQ interpretation.
@GovKristiNoem
has been adamant that South Dakota's State sovereignty will not be handed over for federal coin.
Still, left-leaning media and the SDDNC continue to message in lock-step, omitting the true costs of progressive policies. 2/2

This headline from the Argus Leader is completely false and unethical.

According to the USDA South Dakota has among the LOWEST numbers of food insecurity in the country. Of the 11% facing food insecurity in SD, less than 0.07% of children even face meal reductions. ers.usda.gov/topics/food-nu…
No child should ever have to go hungry, or miss even one meal. Which is why South Dakota has a plethora of programs already meeting these needs.
The backpack buddy program, provided by local churches, sends kids home with;
Organic snacks, nuts, fruit, granola bars, juice, a take-home meal, and all types of healthy treats, EVERY day.
South Dakota AG producers donate monthly shares of; meat, eggs, dairy, produce and grains to the food bank.
There's no such thing as a "free lunch," one way or another, you will pay for it.
