My Immortal Beloved just told me about a conversation I'm not supposed to know about that daughter #3 had at school.
In their Social Studies class (or whatever it's called these days):
Teacher: Should they extend unemployment benefits or not?
Student (friend of my daughter): No they shouldn't because those people (those people?!) are just lazy and don't want to work.
Daughter #3: THAT'S NOT TRUE. My daddy is unemployed and wants to work but he can't find a job.
Student (turns around): I didn't mean you.
She told my wife she felt like crying and, indeed, did cry herself to sleep last night with worry.
How will America dig out of this hole as long as attitudes like that remain? I don't blame the kid, she probably heard it from her parents.
And that makes it worse.
