Compassion and Children

I believe that the status of children is a key performance indicator (to use an MBA term) of an administration. Children are faring very poorly these days. A few examples:

• Separation of immigrant children from their parents.
• Housing these children in facilities that are eerily reminiscent of the World War II-era internment camps.
• Tear-gassing small children as they and their families are trying to cross the border.
• The number of uninsured children already in this country has increased.

No amount of “Be Best” Christmas ornaments in the White House can camouflage the record of the Occupant-in-Chief.
