Elementary students on suicide watch. Public schools with "trauma rooms." Teachers having to deal with students who have overwhelming behavioral problems on a daily basis. Millions of children with severe PTSD just from living in their neighborhoods. America, we have a problem.

Millions of children live with chronic trauma, and we should rescue them no differently than if they were victims of a natural disaster. Their despair has been normalized by the political establishment. but not by me. We need a massive realignment of investment in America's kids.

We need trauma-informed education, community wrap-around services, anti-bullying, mental health services, mindfulness in schools. Every school should be a palace of learning, culture and the arts. The best way to serve America's future is by better serving our children today.

We need a US Department of Children and Youth in order to coordinate the efforts needed to provide adequate responses to the unbelievable vulnerabilities & challenges of our kids today. America has the professionals who know what to do to solve all this. I will put them to work!

If you want a thriving economy & educated electorate, you take care of your children today. We can’t just live for ourselves, we must live to help protect the next generation. If you love your country take care of your children. All your children. marianne2020.com/issues/the-…

Just maaaaaybe it's also the institutional school system. How come no one admits it's not a nurturing place to send your kids 6 hours a day and expect them to thrive?

It can all be fixed with essential oils and meditation! Trust the process

And here in NYS - so so so many days out of school.....d/t weather, more vacation and more administrative days. Pathetic.

Yes, first we have our trickle down of economics (your cause) ...and then we have the same "trickle down" effect of abuse, neglect, and despair... all the way down to the very innocence of children and animals (effects).
