Commissar SFLUFAN Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 The Children’s Defense Fund (CDF) said in a new report that about 13 million American children are living in homes with incomes below the poverty line, depriving many of a decent education and proper nutrition, and putting them at risk of homelessness and violence. Two-thirds of those living in poverty are children of colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5timechamp Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 well if most of them are children of color does it really matter in this "much greater" America we live in now?.. between kicking out the undesired immigrants, closing walls with borders, and straight out bans...isnt the process of "recoloring" the nation right on schedule? a few more targeted shootings and we may scare some off...

Chairslinger Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I blame child labor laws. How do you expect kids to live above the poverty line when they don't even have a job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 The most galling aspect of the CDF report is that this country supposedly prides itself on "family values". What could be more of a "family value" than ensuring the well-being of ALL children? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's another problem with these kids. How are they supposed to pick themselves up by their bootstraps when they wear velcro sneakers?

The school announced the creation of the UCSF Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative on Wednesday. "The world needs a North Star for truth on homelessness," Benioff said in a statement. "The UCSF Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative will be that North Star, providing the latest research, data and evidence-based solutions to ensure we're investing in programs that will help solve the homelessness crisis."
