Did The Philadelphia School System Murder Another Child? Where Is The Outrage?

1. Did The Philadelphia School District Murder Another Child?
   
Where Is The Outrage?

For the second time this year a Philadelphia child died in a nurse-less school building. Protecting children’s lives seems to come second to saving money in Philadelphia!

Where Is The Outrage?

The first child died of an asthma attack.
The second child died of a heart event.
Could a nurse have made the life or death difference in both?

The Philadelphia School District has over 180,000 pupils. A nurse covers one in four students each day in the Philadelphia Public Schools. This represents cost cutting at its worst. It is a disaster waiting to happen. Two disasters have already happened. How many more will surely happen?

Where Is The Outrage?

Staff members wanted to post, on this column, the pictures of the dead students as well as the kindergarten child killed in a Philadelphia school when the lunch tables fell on him. No, there pictures will not appear on this column. These student’s pictures should be posted on every school door and on the door of every empty nurse’s office in Philadelphia.
