AOC comes through again with another great example of her ignorant historical dipshittery:
AOC Incorrectly Credits Black Panthers for Founding School Lunch Programs
Alex Nester - October 7, 2020 5:28 PM
New York congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D.) incorrectly attributed the founding of free and reduced-price breakfast and lunch programs in public schools to the radical Black Panther Party on Wednesday.
Ocasio-Cortez posted a photo to her Instagram story with a caption that said the Black Panthers' Free Breakfast for School Children Program, which began in 1969, created a national push to provide elementary students with free meals.
"Did you know: If you or anyone you know ever benefited from free & reduced school lunch, you’ve likely benefited from the work and legacy of the Black Panthers?" Ocasio-Cortez said in the post.
Federal programs to provide both breakfast and lunch to students, especially those in need, began years before the Panthers launched their free breakfast program in 1969. The National School Lunch Program, which provides free or reduced-price lunches to impoverished students, began in 1946 under President Harry S. Truman. And the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 allocated federal funding through Health and Human Services to provide funding to public schools to serve breakfast to students.
