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!

The stress from the parents and the society is absorbed by the children, and they don't know how to deal with it.

Hmm... Has nothing to do with the demise of the nuclear family huh? I mean, single moms and an enabling welfare state has done kids a lot of good it seems...

Most importantly, we need a society with a moral compass and people who treat the word parent as a verb. The trauma kids experience comes from the home and a morally corrupt society. Schools are merely holding cells for a lost generation. Good job, People.

They are terrified from all the scare tactics used by literally everybody. From the world ending in 10 years to Trump eating little babies and crushing puppies under his heel. Quit scaring the kids with all the adult's delusions about the climate and society. It ain't that bad.

I fail to understand how you remain aligned with the party of death, hate, lies, conspiracies, lawlessness, fake news, whose leaders are utterly devoid of morals, ethics & credibility.

Overcrowded classrooms, teachers teaching kids to take tests rather than teaching lessons bc their jobs depend on it. Curriculum too advanced for the grade level and not spending enough time on core foundations- school stress is unacceptable. I work with these poor kids everyday

Where's the tough love? Where's the truth that parents need to do a better job? Where's the money coming from to support your palaces of learning that don't tax the parents who are struggling to provide for their families as it is?

Wake up people !!! 69 doses of known neurotoxins are causing the mental health issues and injecting the DNA of the opposite sex is causing all the gender confusion in our children ! You don’t get to pick the gender of the aborted fetal cells in the vaccines!!
