US Adds Child Torture To Its Repertoire


"In several letters to the Department of Homeland Security, the American Academy of Pediatrics has urged an end to parent-child separation, which researchers have said can cause lifelong trauma in children. When the policy was unveiled, the academy’s president, Dr. Colleen Kraft, said she was dismayed at its “sweeping cruelty.”" -- Our rulers have always behaved this way towards children -- Native American children were taken, the children of slaves were taken, poor children are begrudged food stamps and school lunches and go to bed hungary every night, children are shot up and killed in our schools and on our streets to appease the NRA, Vietnamese children were napalmed and machined gunned by our military, middle eastern children are droned and killed every day by us and the allies we arm so we should not be surprised that this "sweeping cruelty" is being inflicted on the children of refugees -- it's what we do -- it's part of what "making America great again" stands for -- it's the essence of the racist core of the Republican party and right wing Democrats and the capitalist system that spawned them and that they uphold and it will continue until all decent Americans "take the knee" and give Trump and his ilk the boot.
