"...especially if Ted Cruz decides the government must shut down unless the January 6 investigation is defunded."

Two things:1) I really, really hope Ted Cruz doesn't read Wonkette, andb) Why is Ted Cruz?

No, children at 7-8 don't fully understand the politics/economic of segregation/slavery/white supremacy nor be able to write a research paper about it.

BUT...

My child is 8 and he damn knows well what bullying looks like and it can certainly be addressed though that avenue -- also children have a very strong sense of "fair/unfair" treatment.

(P.S crying/empathy is a fully reasonable reaction especially when a child sees a fellow child in a bad situation -- unless you make it fucking weird or when of those "boys can't be emotional" fuckwads. He is fucking 8.)

(P.P.S "doesn't show the progress being made" -- author should include picture of George Floyd's body)
