Bill bans schools from 'lunch shaming' students who can't pay

A House Democrat introduced legislation last week that would ban schools from shaming students who fall behind in their school lunch accounts.

Current federal law already requires school cafeterias to keep serving students who fall behind on their school lunch payments. But some schools have been known to take steps to shame those students, including by throwing their lunches away once they're served, or making them do chores to make up for their failure to pay.
