#OpFlint
The water in Flint, Michigan is heavily contaminated by lead, which studies have linked to chronic and irreversible health problems, especially for children, including learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, stunted growth, seizures and even death.
Despite the severity of contamination and many warnings, it would take many more months before officials did anything. The lack of response was so egregious that The New York Times editorial board described it as “depraved indifference,” suggesting there was “little doubt” that a richer, whiter community would ever have to face such negligence.
