Parents are afraid to send their kids to school, classrooms sit half-empty, children are being taken to detention facilities. We’ve crossed a line. I stood with education leaders to discuss the growing harm federal actions are causing to children, families, and our schools.

I agree that breast is best. But until this country institutes paid parental leave so mothers can heal and breastfeed and bond with their child for more than a few weeks many have no option except to return to work quickly. Also- affordable childcare would be nice. And fund the ACA!
