Helpless

'cheating the helpless' Amos 8:5

Newt is being savaged by the left in the US for daring to suggest that poor kids should clean schools.

Meanwhile, here in Japan my 10 year old and her friends provide free unpaid labour for the state by cleaning their school on a regular basis, despite there being 'no time' for daily English classes and millions in Japan out of work. Heck, I've even seen unpaid labour squads of schoolchildren cleaning Shinto shrines, despite this country allegedly being a secular state.

I guess its more important for poor kids to Know Their Place than to learn to talk to foreigners, eh?

If you talk to many Japanese who have been through this system they will tell you they don't like those extremist Republicans in the US. Yet child labour is not even an issue here, as long as its the state that is doing the exploitation.
