HOUSTON, TX â€“ 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 didnâ€™t want to see that repeated at Houstonâ€™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, â€œI know thatâ€™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.â€

He didnâ€™t just inquire. He handed over $465 of his own money to zero out
the accounts of the children who were potentially affected â€“ 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.

Union thug.
