Sounds like there is now an attack on being a good parent, lets just pull those that know what to do down to the same level of those that don't know or give a damn. Wish the world would stop because I want to get off!

It’s the bedtime story privilege now.

Next it’ll be the “common sense privilige”.

Notice their idea that the government should be used to prevent reading to children.

Yeah, liberals, this IS your ideology. Own it.

Even before my Kids/Gran-Kids were born they were read to/ Sang to/had musical instruments softly played to them. The Gran Kids still do.

They shouldn't be "concerned", they should revel in it.

And why shouldn’t I do my best to my children every advantage?

This is an insight into the liberal “mind.”
Everything is “equality” with them. They deny the reality that there are differences in ability and effort. Low IQ and laziness leads to a lower income. Liberals want to take money from those who work hard and are smart and give it to the stupid indolent ones.

Solution? Pick the WORST family possible and forcibly impose their behaviors on the rest.

Leveling the playing field (downward; the only direction collectivist can achieve).

When I read Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.’s “Harrison Bergeron” as a young teen, it was the most thought-provoking thing I had ever read. Little did I know at the time it was actually a prediction of the future, not just a strange little short story.

Leftists aren’t sane. NOBODY should listen to them. Goes to show that much of the public ain’t sane either, for listening to them.

My kids went to one of the poorest schools in Georgia. You know what? One has a masters in her field and the other is rapidly climbing the finance ladder. My wife read fastidiously to both of them. The kids that weren’t read to are probably selling meth or posing for Busted magazine!

No. Now shut up, Swift, you're an idiot.

This devilish twist of evidence surely leads to a further conclusion that perhaps – in the interests of leveling the playing field – bedtime stories should also be restricted.

Be restricted, by whom? The entire argument that "leveling the playing field" is more important than parents nurturing their children is stupid, wrong, and evil, and it will be treated with the disgust and derision it deserves.

I think a lot of people read Harrison Bergeron and completely missed the point.

Normal human social achievement has always been a multi-generational project. That is the way people progress. The war on reality, for that is what Egalitarianism is, is the greatest impediment, not only for social progress among the most productive; but perhaps an even greater impediment to those to whom life is a greater struggle. Nothing is more stultifying than abandoning the struggle for a sense of entitlement—for a sense that the world owes one a living.

I see, only the state can raise kids, and all must be equal in their misery. Then blame “enemies of the state” who must have created the misery, and fight and kill everyone who opposes you.
Got it!

No, all parents should be unmarried teens slapping the crap out of their illegitimate toddlers as they reach up to be picked up. That’s what I see on buses and subways, in stores, etc. every day. The babies are ignored while teen mom chats on her cell phone, or plunked down in front of a TV as a babysitter. Listening to violence, sex, and other assorted stuff inappropriate for a little child and contributing NOTHING to their intellectual capacity. Stuffed full of junk food and fast food. Yeah, that’s much better.
