RE: Biased against the homeless? Homeless school children in the USA.
People seldom think of the homeless children when the word homeless is mentioned. It should be the first thing that they think of when they hear it instead.
Good of you to point this out and the numbers are really eye opening or at least should be, you won't see it on the 10:00 news though.
If you see this on the news it will be in connection with either child protective services taking children or to parents endangering children, and not about how can we help.
Writing this post I am reminded of that one Will Smith movie where he is homeless with his son and they are sleeping in a bathroom in the subway, someone tries to come in, and he tells his son it's a dinosaur. That was an eye opening movie, I often forget that my childhood included time being homeless, my mother took that good of care of us.
