That seriously is such a bad song by Whitney. But regardless, children are something that Americans should care about (no matter how ugly and disgusting they are as babies). They are our future (and I can just see Whitney belting that out).
Which is why this article on the Huffington Post, Hungry Children, left me feeling pretty cold. It's not so much that I felt bad for the teachers who were using their own money to buy their students food. It's that this truly shows and represents just how terrible the economy is right now. If parents can no longer send their children to school with full stomachs, then what's going on?
And it's not just a handful of students in classrooms that are not being fed. Sixty-three percent of the teachers surveyed said they bought food for their entire classrooms. What this shows is that parents can no longer afford to give their children the necessities they need. And this ultimately proves that something needs to get done about the economy in this nation.
