On MSNBC last night, host Christopher Hayes defended his network colleague Melissa Harris-Perry after she was criticized for her controversial comments about raising children.
“We have never invested as much in public education as we should have because we’ve always had a private notion of children, your kid is yours and totally your responsibility,” Harris-Perry said in an MSNBC promotional video. “We haven’t had a very collective notion of these are our children. So part of it is we have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents or kids belong to their families and recognize that kids belong to whole communities.”
