The Trump admin is churning out policies that would undermine the health, safety and economic well-being of America's children and their parents. They are evidence that they are determined to not let the lives of children get in the way of far-right corporate agenda.
1) thread

Here are some examples of how Trump has harmed kids~
They tried to defund a program that uses evidence-based initiatives to reduce teen pregnancy rates. A federal court blocked HHS from cancelling dozens of grants awarded under the congressionally mandated program.
2)

The WH and Republican lawmakers tried and failed to repeal the 2010 Affordable Care Act. That law spurred parents to sign up their children for healthcare programs for low-income kids. Unfortunately, the GOP Congress kept chipping away at it, but Dems are back in power..
3)

They removed the top EPA official for children's health, a renowned pediatrician and child health expert, because the admin objected to a major lead poisoning report nearing completion. When, in history, has any president removed protection from children? Until now...
4)

This admin rolled back the Obama era efforts to serve more nutritious foods to students. Per the food industry request it weakened the requirements to provide foods to combat obesity and poor health. Again~ why? Corporate America?
5)

They are considering whether to repeal another Obama era requirement barring children under age 18 from handling pesticides on farms, because early exposure can cause cancer and neurological damage. This was one of few national regulations on child farm labor.
6)

There are so many more~ the interests of the largest US corporations are far more important to the Trump admin than children!
They have turned cruelty to children into official US government policy.
End rant~ and thank heavens Dems now have power again...
