We live in a nation where each year there are an average of about 500,000 children living in foster care, including 130,000 who are needing adoption.

Former foster children, by some accounts, make up 30 percent of the homeless population and 25 percent of the prison population, with the criterion of “aging out” of the system being the number one indicator of such a grim future.

Alas, I’m afraid that can’t last because he did the same thing the Republican Governor of his state did. The same kind of thing most politicians do. That insiders already knew about.

Oh, and also because he called out bad behavior on the part of one of the popular kids.
