It's happening elsewhere



My two thoughts about this video:
1. The current xenophobia is not just an American phenomenon. More violent than elsewhere, perhaps. But to learn that the Parliament in Denmark -- of all places -- approved this action is saddening to me personally (because I have an adopted Danish family who are people of color), and disheartening to see this madness spread around the world.
2. Why don't we use video and social media to put faces on what the current administration and legislature are trying to do here?

Your thoughts, please.

Since the plummling the education budgets over the past 30 years most people have an IQ of 75.

It has now come from ignorant parents to allowing this from their even more ignorant for this generation.
