It’s hard to learn on an empty stomach, but that is exactly what the Biden administration is demanding of the nation’s most vulnerable children. In an unfathomable display of misplaced priorities, not to mention a gross misinterpretation of federal law, President Biden’s Food and Drug Administration is choosing indoctrination in its view of sexual orientation and gender identity over feeding hungry children. It is a painful lesson, one that, without judicial remedy, children across the country will not soon forget.

Grant Park Christian Academy serves children from a low-income, historically underprivileged community in Tampa. Under Florida’s school-choice program, most of the families at the school attend cost-free. All of them are eligible for free or reduced-price lunches. Grant Park Christian receives funding to pay for school lunches from the U.S. Department of Agriculture through the National School Lunch Program administered by Florida agriculture commissioner Nikki Fried.
