Public healthcare for all? Public education for all? What is being done to our monetized children regarding their potential healthcare and their existing education, with its state mandated high stakes testing preparation that is accompanied by data mining, is immoral.
The unscrupulous political endorsement of these practices brought to mind a public comment made 99 years ago by Eugene Debs as he stood in court awaiting ten years of imprisonment for violating the infamous Sedition Act which was later repealed by Congress.
Eugene Debs on September 18, 1918 declared the following in open court.
I am thinking… of the little children who in this system are robbed of their childhood and in their tender years are seized in the remorseless grasp of Mammon… I see them dwarfed and diseased and their little lives broken and blasted because in this high noon of Christian civilization money is still so much more important than the flesh and blood of childhood. In very truth gold is God today and rules with pitiless sway in the affairs of men.”
