Have we become a Country run by heartless Idiots?

How deep does this disfunction go?

An Excerpt from the article linked 

"Angelica Penta, an owner of Gel’s Kitchen, said she had set up donation jars at her restaurant last year, after she saw a report about a girl who was refused food that she had chosen because her account was delinquent.

When Ms. Penta tried to bring a $4,000 check to the school district this year as a donation, she said, officials there refused it. “At the end of the day, it is the child who is suffering,” she said in an interview.

The district said in a statement on Monday to WJAR, a local network, that it could not disburse the funds equally. “This is a position that the school department cannot support given the school’s mission to treat all children equitably,” it said."
