    I do not support tax paying dollars being spent on protein bars and rabbits. Why are those on the list?

      Protein bars are likely because some kids don’t get a breakfast at home. Not because the teacher just wants to give out snacks.

      The rabbits could be useful in biology. Not only are they something often used for dissection, there are school-adjecent programs like the FFA where you might learn how to raise them. I raised rabbits as my FFA project, since participation in the FFA was required for the AP Biology class they stuck me in.

          That’s something everyone can eat and doesn’t contain anything that kids especially are allergic to in large numbers, great idea.

          You didn’t read the headline correctly then. It says “With their own cash”, which means they’re buying this stuff for their classrooms with their own money out of their own pay. There’s no federal subsidies for these.
