Rick Perry’s constant harping that even infants should pull themselves up by the bootstraps and earn their medical care, food, and housing, has left Texas mean.

When a 12-year-old Texas boy went to eat breakfast this week at his middle school a cafeteria worker took away the meal and tossed it in the trash — all because his meal account was 30 cents short.

Jennifer Castilleja of Dickinson County said she received a call from her son’s school Wednesday morning and was told the cafeteria refused to let the boy eat unless she came in and paid the 30 cents owed.

When Castilleja told school officials she was on her way to the school to pay and asked that they let her son eat until she arrived, the school refused.

So, the cafeteria lady threw the boy’s breakfast in the garbage.  In front of his friends.  You know, because 12 year old boys aren’t self-conscious and awkward enough as it is.

I hope she gets a wart on her nose.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
