SNAP Data Dodge: Woke Privacy or Pure Hypocrisy?

Laura Howard, Kansas Secretary of Children and Families, is the latest example of woke governance run amok. While Americans are tightening their belts and inflation crushes working families, she’s busy refusing to cooperate with a federal effort to root out fraud in the SNAP program. Why? Because, in her words, sharing data to crack down on food stamp abuse might violate privacy. Spare us the sanctimony.

Howard is hiding behind the flimsy veil of “data protection” while real Kansans are getting played. Critics aren’t buying her act. One summed it up perfectly: “She’s hiding fraud to seem caring—what a joke!” Her excuse that it’s “too hard” to share the information with the USDA is a laughable dodge. The truth? She’d rather score woke virtue points than fix a broken system.

Let’s be clear: SNAP fraud is real, and it hurts the very people the program is supposed to help. With over 42 million Americans relying on assistance, any delay in cutting off scammers means more hungry families left behind. But Howard’s woke priorities protect the rule-breakers and abandon the rule-followers.

This isn’t compassion—it’s corruption dressed up in social justice drag. The Far From Woke verdict? Laura Howard is a woke bureaucrat blocking real reform. Enough of the fake caring. Kansans deserve accountability—not another virtue-signaling roadblock.
