Of course the crack smokin’ and 24/7 TV watching had nothing to do with it.
I can distinctly remember chewing on my lead based crib paint and nothing happened to me. In fact that I graduated with honors.
I’ve read that the entire lead paint hysteria was fomented so as to excuse the incredibly poor school performance of ghetto children, because the Great Society was supposed to fix that and it didn’t.
I see a pattern: Always an excuse by leftists, and always something that more of my tax dollars will fix.
