This one has slipped under the radar, amid all the other horrible shit the RepubliQ are trying to pull:
1, In three dead-red states, Iowa, Ohio, and Arkansas, the legislatures have passed bills striking down existing child labor laws. Children as young as 12 can now work unlimited hours in farms and factories. Similar bills are pending in eight other states.
2. There are other aspects. One is that children 12 and older do not have to enroll in school. With parental permission, they can be put to work. There are bills in committee to cut off public funding for school if a child is 12 or older.
3. As you might expect, another kicker is that all public assistance, such as food stamps, will be put to am end if you have at least one child 12 or older in your household.
Existing child labor laws were enacted as early as 1873. This shows us all what century the RepubliQ want to live in.
It's why people are fleeing RepubliQ states. Who can blame them? Who wants their kid's hands mangled by some factory machine?
