It's very sad when we don't make an effort to teach our children about the things, and especially the struggles, that came before. They don't understand how tenuous all of the advances of the last 50 years truly are and realize that they MUST stay vigilant and fight for what is right. Corporations have become far more powerful and far more greedy than they were when workers and indeed most Americans had to rise up against them for our voices to be heard and to insist on decent wages and benefits. Sadly, our own children are allowing and sometimes even helping the wealthy destroy all of our hard-fought advances because our young people have taken these advances for granted instead of understanding that they were precious things to be protected, not ignored.
