I am really afraid that a country which didn't prioritize keeping school children safe from gun violence won't prioritize finding ways to keep them protected from a virus, but still learning, developing, socializing, playing as they need.
Imagine a child-centered stimulus bill - featuring nutritious food programs, outdoor play centers, small classes spread throughout the community, broadband everywhere, support to parents.
I don't have all the answers, but let's give teachers and communities and parents a fraction of what we've given away to billionaires these past months and see what they come up with.
And not - it's not naive or pie in the sky to think that an advanced society could take care of its children through a crisis.
