Public school indoctrination of minds full of mush. Pathetic. No 6-year-old knows enough about life to understand homelessness and what contributing factors are. She’s just being raised to be another BLM SJW punk. I do hope I’m wrong.
Children aren’t stupid. It doesn’t take much imagination to understand what it’s like not to have a home or food. One doesn’t need to know the causes of homelessness, to understand what it’s like to be cold and hungry.
Why in the world would you criticize a wonderful child who gave up her own birthday party, to do the Lord’s work?
I know a couple kids in my daughters (she is 6) class that did things like this. They gave their Christmas presents away. Their parents were extreme liberals. I assumed that the children were heavily coerced in their decisions; the only way I know about this, is because the mothers bragged about it.
One of the kids admitted that she was very sad that she didn’t get anything.
You probably are wrong. Maybe, just maybe, this child has heard enough I homelessness in her community to want - even at her young age - to do something about it. She should be lauded for it.
So do I. (hope you are wrong).
I visit a local shelter for homeless families on Christmas and Thanksgiving. I’m on the board of directors (a volunteer position) of the organization that runs the shelter, and it helps keep lines of communication open between the board and the staff.
One Christmas day, I found a local family preparing the Christmas meal for the residents. Their two pre-teen sons had asked their parents to use the money that they would have spent for their Christmas presents to provide a Christmas dinner for the homeless.
It’s a shelter that does not merely provide a bed and a roof. The kids must be in school, the parent(s) must be in school, job training, or working, and after thirty days, they are moved into bridge housing, which has a diminishing rent subsidy for two years.
That is a very cynical and low view of humanity.
I tend to agree though. It is probably her parents virtue signaling about how understanding they are and the child is just a prop to them.
Six-year-old already trained in Virtue Signaling.
You aren’t wrong. You’re catching flak due to being over the target.
