You goofed, it’s okay to admit it.
Now, ask the moderator to remove your offensive post or you risk becoming known as what you called these kids. (And don’t do that again, please.)
Children should be in school getting an education so they can be independent once they become adults. They should NOT up on Capitol Hill demanding that politicians provide them with government handouts paid for by U.S. taxpayers. They should not be used as props by their parents who think that it “takes a village” to raise THEIR kids.
