What are we teaching our children if we tell them they can’t go to school, but Mommy and Daddy can go get a drink at the bar? What kind of message are we sending to our youth when their education depends on politics, but getting your nails done is your right as a U.S. citizen?
There is something extremely wrong going on around us and no matter what side of this you are on, you see it too.
All summer long, beaches, bars, restaurants, Target, Walmart, and so many other businesses have been allowed to open, yet your child can’t go to school.
Instead, while many of us are enjoying the retail and hospitality world being open, our children sit inside, being forced to study in front of a computer screen for hours.
Oh and let’s not forget the private schools and daycare’s that are still doing business as usual. Those children are the lucky ones. They get to play and interact with their peers while the other children who’s schooling is paid for by the government do not.
How do we justify that this is ok? How can we really say that it is ok for 50 million kids to sit at home and study, while they watch everyone else participate in the social world?
This is hypocrisy at its finest. We allow the corporations to be open because they own the government. We allow private schools and daycares to be open because it is their right. Where are the rights for the students behind the computer? The government has stolen their right and their voice. We must do better.
