‘Life Isn’t Fair’: Listeners React to Gingrich’s Child Labor Comments

The Takeaway

Yesterday, The Takeaway  spoke with Diana Furchtgott-Roth from the Manhattan Institute and sociologist Pedro Noguera about Newt Gingrich’s policy proposal to change the child labor laws  to allow 9-year-old kids to go to work. The Takeaway listeners had a lot to say about child labor. Takeaway listeners  Bill Arnott, from Columbia, South Carolina, and  Carol, from Wellesley, Massachusetts, discuss their experience working as children through the prism of Gingrich’s comments. (Carol asked The Takeaway not to use her last name.)
