Put Some Focus on Children With Learning Disabilities!


Donald Trump Speaking at a Rally in Nevada

Children with learning disabilities are a tragedy that is all too common in the United States. According to a paper written by two professors of Health Policy and Management at Korea University “Around 8 percent of children in the United States have learning disability.” This number might not seem that large to you but according to the US Census Bureau, there were 72.5 million children in 2022. This means 5.8 million children in the United States are suffering from some type of learning disability. Another way to put it is that 5.8 million Americans are receiving improper education due to a disability. Our society needs to be highly educated to vote and keep our country great, however, this will never happen if we continue to focus on financial issues instead of social issues.

            Children with learning disabilities face problems that someone without a learning disability could not even fathom. The definition of a learning disability is “a brain condition that makes it difficult to process or understand information.” Due to this open definition, many different conditions are covered under the umbrella of a learning disability. ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, and APD are just some of the most common ones among children today. These conditions can cause children to be unable to pay attention or sit still, unable to read or struggle to process verbal sounds. These issues severely affect children’s ability to learn and become highly educated members of our society. We need to put a focus on these kids that are struggling. They’re only kids and can’t advocate for themselves, so it’s our job to advocate for them as they’re the future of our country.

            The Republican Party constantly disregards all kinds of social issues that are happening around our country. They are completely inhumane and only care about money. This is having a detrimental effect on the children of our country. We have over 5 million kids with learning disabilities who are struggling to receive proper education. However, every election time after time the republican party chooses to focus on financial issues over the social ones that are really affecting the country. In fact, around half of President-elect Donald J. Trump’s 20 Core Policies are all regarding something financial. This shows that Republicans simply do not care about core social issues in our country. This type of behavior of putting any amount of money above these issues specifically struggling children is absolutely disgusting and somebody who should not be running our country.

            One of President-elect Donald J. Trump’s main campaign points is to close the Department of Education. I bet you can guess the reasoning behind it. If you guessed money then you would be correct. According to USASPENDING.gov, which is an official website of the United States government, the Department of Education received $238.04 billion in budgetary resources for the 2024 fiscal year. This money would go somewhere else in the federal budget if the Department of Education were closed. This agency helps facilitate education across the United States. One that helps kids with learning abilities in school. The Department of Education is responsible for Section 504 which “prohibits discrimination based on disability in programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance from the U.S. Department of Education.” This is a good agency, and it is silly for someone to want to close it down just to have access to some more money. But hey, silly is what we have come to expect from the lunatic known as Donald Trump.

            This type of action is nothing out of the ordinary when it comes to Donald Trump. He is a disrespectful person, a felon, and a businessman who only cares about money. There is no doubt he would be willing to let protections for children with disabilities go out the window for some more cash to work with during his presidency. However, we need to be different. We need to put these kids first and focus on ensuring their education. We should not be trying to tear down a system that’s in place to help people. It is time to say no and protect our future.

The Lasting Impact of Divorce on Children's Mental Health-and How to Mitigate the Damage

The Effects of Divorce The Lasting Impact of Divorce on Children's Mental Health-and How to Mitigate the Damage  While divorce might seem like an issue that primarily affects adults, it's the children who often bear the heaviest burden. We often like to think to ourselves that children are "resilient," that they will simply adapt to the changes around them. However, that assumption is largely misguided. Divorce disrupts the one source of stability children need most, being with their family. The effects of this can be huge, leaving emotional scarring well into adulthood, especially when a proper support system is not in place to help them deal with it. In fact, divorce can be extremely harmful to a child's mental health. It's not just a matter of sadness or disappointment, but rather an upheaval-that might be manifested in confusion, guilt, anxiety, and in extreme cases, trauma, as described with symptoms related to PTSD. However, this does not not to be the c...

Housing Market in shambles!!!! You know why...

  Cartoon of the current state of the housing Market              Every American knows that a part of the American Dream is to one day have something of your own, a home. This has been the staple of success in America since our founding of our great nation. Yet it seems like that dream is being coughed from under us by the "progressive" left that's regressing us more than progressing us. With their solutions of rent controls and public housing projects, the crisis we face as a nation is getting worse. And the problem is obvious, Government! If they would to remove their filthy hands out of the free market, prices would fix themselves! But no, they refuse to solve the issues of our nation at hand before other countries. Without the IMMEDIATE removal of government zoning laws and similar regulations our country is done for.               Is it really crazy to say that the governmen...

Growing Crisis in Teen Drinking

teen drinking   Teen Drinking is a Growing Crisis. Here's Why It's Affecting Teenagers More Than Ever   We've all come across the saying at some point; "Teenagers are going to drink." Let's face it; this perspective does more harm than good. While we might downplay drinking as a norm of growing up and gaining experience in life the truth is much bleaker than we acknowledge openly. Today, teen drinking is not just a harmless phase— it is a crisis that affects everything from mental health to academic success, physical development, and even social dynamics.   The numbers are more than just alarming— they're downright troubling. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) , nearly 60% of high school seniors have had at least one drink in their lifetime. What’s worse is that almost 30% have engaged in binge drinking in the past month. That’s nearly a third of a generation actively putting their futures at risk for s...
