Defending America's Children.
Edelman, Marian Wright
Educational Leadership, v46 n8 p77-80 May 1989
For imperative moral and practical reasons, our commitment to children must transcend political rhetoric and produce a continuum of programs beginning before birth and sustained until adulthood. Children need defenses against preventable infant mortality, childhood diseases, homelessness, unsafe childcare, and early sex and parenthood. Families need both economic and spiritual safety. Includes 10 references. (MLH)
