Wanted to roll back the child labor laws as he didn't see why you had to be 16 (?) to sweep the floors of the school gyms. Of course, they'd want a different wage structure for the underage children too. Despicable.

My grandmother went to work in the sixth grade, but that was in 1911.

Despicable is the word.
