HOUSTON, TX - Last week, dozens of children at Uintah elementary school

had their lunch trays snatched away from them before they could take a

bite. Workers at the Elementary School removed the already-served food

because some students had negative balances in the accounts used to pay

for lunches.

Kenny Thompson didn't want to see that repeated at Houston's Valley Oaks

Elementary School. KPRC reports that on Monday, the longtime mentor and

tutor paid off the negative lunch account balances of more than 60 students.

Thompson told KPRC, "I know that's probably a situation at my school,

and the school my son goes to, and the other schools I mentor at. So I

came in and inquired about it."

He didn't just inquire. He handed over $465 of his own money to zero out

the accounts of the children who were potentially affected - many of

whom were already on reduced lunch that cost just 40 cents a day.

Did anyone contact the parents?

In the other case, CNN asked some of the parents and they said they

simply did not know the balance was low and came up with the money.

The real issue is that a school administrator thought it appropriate to

take a lunch away from a kid.

Then Harry, why didn't you say that in your header? Instead you were implying that there was only "1" good person in Texas. I take it, to demean Texans or maybe the entire state.
