Authoritarianism is posing as progress. This country is walking backwards.
A new Iowa bill would roll back child labor laws, allowing 14 to 17-year-olds to work in mining, meatpacking, demolition, operating guillotine shears, and other dangerous jobs. Under the business-backed bill, employers wouldn't be civilly liable if kids are injured or killed.

While rolling back child labor laws in this manner is a terrible idea, it's the opposite of authoritarianism. Don't twist the meaning of words.

This rollback will result in child abuse and exploitation. Iowa moms, please be fierce.
