Public schools have fired lunch room workers for giving kids with outstanding lunch bills food. What you're referencing is exactly as frogmanfromlake said it is - some schools do that , many already do not.
It's not that that doesn't occur, but currently it occurs in a small portion of the many school districts in America and the prominent coverage of these is due to the outrageousness of it happening anywhere at all. When that becomes actually widespread the picture is unfathomably worse than it is now.

Currently 8 out of 50 states provide free school lunches.
Universally yeah, but nearly all states still have a subsidy that guarantees breakfast and/or lunch to the poorest students.
