DENVER (AP)- Colorado lawmakers are focusing on primary education especially when it comes to breakfast.

A bill up for its first vote on Monday would ensure children are eating breakfast by requiring schools to serve the meal for free after the first bell of the day.

Schools that have 70 percent or more students who qualify for free or reduced lunch would be required to participate in the program.

It would start next year.

This is pure democratic pandering, nothing more nothing less.

Rufus, are you trying to take away the pleasure the dems have by taking from the citizens and giving to the illegals? The dems can't think far enough ahead to realize that soon, because of their taking, there won't be anything left to give. The dems are victims of their own ideology and don't have enough sense to realize it.

Would those schools that have "70% or more students who qualify for free or reduced lunch" have that many if the illegals were sent back to their home countries?

Well, I guess the free grub will make up for elementary school children having to walk a few miles in the cold with no sidewalk because the district cannot afford diesel for the school bus. Colorado lawmakers are such rocket scientists, we are so lucky to have such brainiacs at the helm!
