Charity Is No Substitute for Humanity

Kinsley’s mom, Megan Green, told “Good Morning America” that she wrote up a Facebook post asking other employees at Mae Jemison High School in Huntsville to donate their own time off after her husband officially ran out of sick days. After her post, David Green, 31, a history teacher and football coach, received a total of 110 days. It was only good news in the sense that was the story of something that could have been worse—something, in this case, that would have been brutal and unconscionably cruel, and also normal in our country:

If not for all those individual acts of generosity, David Green would have had to give up on helping to care for his sick baby daughter himself, so that he would be able to pay for her medical treatment, without which she would have died.
