Port: The conservative case for universal school lunch

A new ballot measure in North Dakota is set to spark a lively statewide debate: Should the state pick up the full cost of school meals? Supporters say shifting from a fee-based system to a state-funded model would ease pressure on families, especially as costs rise. Critics argue it undermines parental responsibility or veers into “socialism,” but backers counter that it’s simply a different way of delivering an existing public service. With inflation squeezing households, the proposal could become a defining conversation about what conservative, efficient government looks like today. Rob Port with InForum has the full story.
