> if we're cutting them off from the information they need to get an education?

No one is being "cut off." They're simply no longer receiving a subsidy. Presumably they would still have Internet access through school or public libraries. At worst we are inconveniencing them. And people became educated well before the Internet ever existed.

> how do we lift low income kids out of poverty

You can't. You can create really efficient pipelines to keep them in poverty for the rest of their life if you're not careful, though.
