For those curious, the Black Panther Party was one of the major drivers to getting the free breakfast programs going in schools across the US. The FBI of course hated that, but what we have today is largely thanks to their organizing efforts. [1]
And as others have commented, there seems to be little reason not to provide at least two meals a day to kids in schools. Besides "it's socialism" from those that seem to hate other humans in need.
