Linda Craddick Poet Acrostic

Science

Since when did parents decide to 
Collect medical information from entertainment tv hosts?
I remember getting vaccinated for measles because
Everyone was doing the right thing. It was our parents way of loving us and 
Not letting measles be a problem for future children and grandchildren. 
Covid appears to be different. Parents care more about politics and 
Entertainment tv then they do about their kids and generations to come. Sad.

L Milton Hankins August 27, 2021 at 12:17 PM Right on the money, Linda. Astonishing how society has changed over the past twenty-thirty years. I don't recall anyone questioning the polio vaccine, and we were required to have it before we could go to school! So, what's the deal here?

If there is one thing Americans need most, it is a teacher able to impart how to distinguish fact from fiction! Aloha! Rico Linda Craddick August 28, 2021 at 4:44 PM Haha...thank you? As a teacher and parent, I find this trend terrifying. I'm not generally a negative person, but I do have real fears for my students and society in general.
