Free Breakfasts: Another Destructive Liberal Idea

If you go to the fund's website (lafund.org), you are greeted with these messages: "Learn to dream" (in English and in Spanish) and "Imagine your life without limits." These are essentially meaningless messages. But, as we shall see, the fund's breakfast program is not only meaningless; it is quite destructive.
The reasons for the announced cancellation were that the program had drawn rodents and insects into classrooms, and that classroom learning time was being wasted by students eating for long periods in class.
But the rodents, insects and disruption of class learning time are nothing in terms of destructiveness compared to the free breakfast itself.
First, the program was created to solve a problem that does not exist.
