Why don't we give all of our children a free breakfast and a free lunch? I don't understand why we don't send the message to ALL of our children that they are equally valued in our society by giving all of them a good start in life no matter what their social standing.
Don't you think that children of economically deprived or just bad parents are smart enough to realize that they don't have the same advantages of the children who are lucky enough by birth to have affluent and/or involved parents. Perhaps if we treated all children like they were our own they would grow up to be better citizens and not out doing dope and having babies before they graduate high school.
I would call my conservative friends a bunch of heartless bastards but I don't want my post edited.
