They want to force children into the labor pool. Can't afford to eat? Get a job Timmy! Oh and by the way if you don't pay your school lunch debt, we're calling CPS and taking you away from your parents. So get to work!

They see poor people as inherently bad parents. They want ways to take away poor minority children from their parents, and lunch debt is a great way to get them on the radar for that.

And where do they intend to place them once they get an excuse to break up the family?

I think the rich well adjusted foster family is largely a TV creation.

Maybe they'll just straight turn group homes into factories.
