#GOP Deploys the “#Mudsill Theory” to Destroy #SocialMobility
Eight Red states have made it easier for children to get trapped in a cycle of work that often ends their educational progress and consigns them to a lifetime of manual labor.
Eight other #Republican-controlled states are currently considering legislation to weaken #ChildLaborLaws, while 13 mostly Democratic-controlled states are in the process of tightening their restrictions
— Meanwhile, Republican-controlled states are waging war against universal quality #PublicEducation for their #Children

Of all the corruption and greed we've been hearing about from our elected officials and representatives, this has to be the most egregious. Ironically, it's coming from the "pro-life" party.

I didn't realize making America Great Again was about returning us to the working conditions of Dickensian England, endangering and enslaving children. (Wouldn't want to raise the minimum wage or anything.) A woman who told bald-faced lies to her nation without blinking an eye or smearing her mascara as White House press secretary coldly sends children to injuries, overwork, and even death.
