In The Monitor Ben Rosen shares his opinion about PBS and NPR becoming privatized in order to build a wall in between Mexico and the United Sates. Many wouldn't think of this as a huge set back but a number of parents and one particular seven year old, Toby Smith, see this as a discriminatory move.

It's remarkable that Arkansas's town hall meeting did not get the opinion of a parent but of a seven year old boy. Toby was so moved by PBS Kids he stood in front of a large crowd just to protest his passion for this T.V. station.

The claim is that T.V. and radio no longer contribute to informative news because there are so many sources in this millennial century but PBS supporters beg to differ and believe programs like PBS and NPR still provide suitable new coverage that is beneficial. 

I personally grew up watching PBS and still watch it now for informative documentaries. I think this argument could seem trivial but to those who have all grown up with PBS and NPR have some connection to the knowledge these stations have provided to the masses over the decades. Let's not build walls, let's educate and grow.

 There are many things that will begin to change with Donald Trump as our President and one of those changes has already begun; all undocumented immigrants convicted of a criminal offense will be the first of the undocumented citizens to get deported. A woman by the name of Guadalupe Garcia de Rayos who has been living in the U.S. for over 2 decades was convicted of a crime in 2009 and now seven years later she has been ripped away from her family because of her crime. Guadalupe has created a life here, "The Land of The Free", and now her freedom is lost. Who knows when she will see her family again? I don't know... and I don't think many people know either. Deportations like this are already happening and they will continue to happen. This article is necessary to read because America (Trump) is tearing family's apart, not just convicted felons; people.
