    Its easy to be cynical about this but the truth is this principal is trying to give these kids, that are victims of the capitalism and how the system works for the priviledged, a place to aid them at least get some basic necessary services to help them preserve their dignity and self-respect. He isn't doing it out of sympathy but out of respect and empathy. Im aware there are more principals out there trying their hardest but just pointing out that he's doing something that someone else already pioneered doesn't help. Im pretty sure they aren't looking for accolades rather for their kids to thrive in this unforgiving world. Hats off and much respect! I wish I had a principal like him.

      Unfortunately, when the government isn't funded and empowered to provide help, there isn't much they can do for them. Caring for these kids would likely be called "socialism."

      Matt H But the government is funded plenty. The government simply refuses to prioritize kids that need a stable home. Living from pillar to post will be a trauma that will carry into adulthood. Surely there is enough money to put back what has been taken from affordable housing which Reagan began taking from in the early 80’s. We bailed out the banks, we bailed out the auto industry and we just gave a massive tax break to the well to do and corporations. The powers that be just don’t care about the poor, not even the poor children who have no choice or say so in the matter.

      @@Matt-fl8uy Our military uses up the majority of the country's funds, that's the problem. Our military is bigger than the next 5 biggest militaries combined yet we still keep making weapons, bombs, and billion dollar jets. We spend more on the miltary than healthcare, education, social security, and social programs combined, which is sick. We don't need to tax the poor and middle class, we should tax the uber huge corporations and billionaires accordingly while allocating more funds towards healthcare and education. However, like you said the GOP cares more about corporations and feed their base constant fear mongering propaganda about immigrants and the boogeyman out to kill us all. If you somehow want less military spending it's anti American but more education funding is suddenly evil "socialism." It's bad that the base are mostly uneducated Americans from rural/middle America so they vote against their own interest. It's like in Kentucky they say they love Obamacare and what it did for their communities, but hate "liberal" ideas so they vote for any Republican regardless of policies.

      Incredible? We should be used to it by now. I remember in the 80s (after 8 years of Gov Reagan and 4 years of Pres Reagan) a social worker saying "It's a bad time to be poor". They're saying it again after 3 years of tRump. My question is, is it ever a good time?
      Billionaires: who's going to pay for THEM? For the answer to that, look around. Tent cities, full capacity shelters, 10 people living in a cheap motel room, families living in cars. They're paying for them.
