Mr. President, I rise today to support Senator Marshall's resolution of disapproval of this outrageous rule. I have to say, as I sat here on the Senate floor, I listened to my friend from Hawaii give his floor remarks. As I listened to what he said, I wrote down some of what he said. He said ``Kids need to eat.'' He said ``Don't take the food away from children.'' And he said ``Don't drag children into the culture wars.'' I have to admit, Mr. President, I felt like I was in ``Alice in Wonderland'' and that I had gone through the looking glass because I agree emphatically with all three of those statements; and, for a moment there, I thought the Senator from Hawaii had given a speech in support of this resolution of disapproval. What is this issue about? Understand what it is about. It is Joe Biden and the Democrats who are taking food away from children. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has told schools: We will cut off your school lunch funding. We will take the food off of your plates and out of your mouths unless the schools comply with the Biden administration's radical transgender policies. It is Joe Biden and the Democrats and every Democrat who votes in favor of this policy who are saying: We are going to take food away from kids. Why?…
