Child labor was common in urban, industrial America for most of the country’s history. It’s now making a disturbing comeback: lawmakers across the US are undertaking concerted efforts to weaken or repeal statutes that prohibit employing children.
When I was in highschool, my teacher described getting rid of child labor as “The greatest thing this country has ever done” and that always stuck with me, that in many ways the US might be backsliding, but at least we don’t have child labor anymore.
Was fekkin wild seeing him posting on facebook in support of state republicans overturning child labor laws. The last few years have really changed some good folks into horrible monsters lol
