Brickbat: Playing Chicken

Vera Liddell, former director of food services at Harvey School District 152 in Illinois, has been sentenced to nine years in prison after pleading guilty to stealing $1.5 million in food—primarily chicken wings—from the school system. Liddell placed unauthorized orders for the food from July 2020 to February 2022 through the school's food vendor and picked it up in a school van.

The one thing we have not heard is what she did with those wings. She had to have been selling them to someone so who received the stolen goods?

Another covid mitigation effort success story.

[Don't look at me!]

She was feathering her nest on a wing and a prayer.

Pubic schools are now part of the Welfare State's schemes to "feed the poor", and this is the kind of result we get...

Someone has a seriously twisted chicken wing fetish.

There's a special hell for people who steal from that which is intended for children.

I'm sure she saw it as reparations. And couldn't you find any pictures of black kids?
