So everything about school is handled by the government, except for this which is managed as a business.
Why is this specifically managed as a business when all the other aspects are taxpayer funded?
When you take a public institution and privatize aspects of it you are deregulating those aspects by transferring control from the government to private entities.

Privatization is not an example of regulation. The public school system is not a wild capitalist horse yearning to be free, it was designed as a social service. You are turning a social service into a business, not freeing a business from the stifles of regulation.
> It has nothing to do with capitalism tho.
The private company providing lunches that parents have to pay money to under penalty of the aforementioned, so that it can generate a profit in exchange for goods and services… is not capitalism?

capitalism doesn't punish you for not buying something. i don't get a fine for not shopping at walmart or mcdonalds. are walmart and mcdonalds then not participating in capitalism?
