I am completely against any type of "heavy" school cleaning! Cleaning up your desk, locker or personal space very different than scrubbing toilets!
As a childless taxpayer I am outraged that anyone would agree to kids scrubbing toilets! Give these kids an education! No time needs wasted on heavy cleaning!
|
| -Okay, hands up: Who here on DU is in favor of unpaid child labor? |

My OP was prompted by the issue being brought up but is a counter to Gingrich not an agreement. |
