Dear Lord, I cannot believe I actually read an article from HuffPost. Always despised them since their beginning. But them, there's this. Eye-opening.

On Monday, I’ll find myself arguing passionately that school lunch should be universal and free, like textbooks or desks — a basic educational supply. On Tuesday, I’ll be raising money to pay off debts in a system I just spent Monday arguing shouldn’t exist at all. The cognitive dissonance is sometimes overwhelming. Am I enabling a broken system by patching its most visible failures? Am I letting policymakers off the hook by providing a band-aid that makes the bleeding less visible?

Yes. With your enthusiasm for institutionalizing children, you might as well be openly supporting politicians.
