The children
By James W. Harkleroad
Out-reach programs.
Feeding programs.
Keeping pornography out of public libraries.
Prison reform.
After school programs.
Drug abuse programs.
Diversion programs.
Housing programs.
Anti-poverty programs.
Advocating for children.
All of these are reactions to problems. Band-aids to reduce- not to eliminate- problems in the community.
Where is the community where such programs are not needed?
Where is the community that - instead of serving the wants of the adults- serves the needs of the children?
When the environment is not good enough for the children why are the adults continuing to force them to live in it?
