Oh...Come...on...!

[demshateGod]

That’s why I do it. I want my kids to be the benevolent dictators of the Idiocracy they’ll inherit.

Good parenting unfair to children with bad parents? Solution? Pick the WORST family possible and forcibly impose their behaviors on the rest.

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 leveling the playing field one family at a time: downward; the only direction collectivist can achieve.

Just go blow it out your a$$, I do not have any other words other than that.

This has got to be the biggest bunch of boozwha that’s come out of England sincer Piers Morgan.

[cripplecreek]

Good.

[ETL]

Same if you feed and clothe your kids properly. /s

[Jim Robinson]

Great satire! /s

So, parenting does matter. Apparently, an admission that the government can’t raise kids better than parents do.

I just happen to have the 1995 version of the film. I couldn’t help but think of common core watching the classroom scenes.

The short version named “2081” is also good.

This is the very essence of the obama era.

Dammm right.

Yes, I am making sure my kids leave the other kids in the dust.

And I’m having fun doing it.

[OttawaFreeper]

I wonder if this guy still lives in his parents’ basement?
If so, to paraphrase the immortal William Shatner, he should get out of there and get a life.

[Cubs Fan]

I taught both of my boys learn to read by age 4. I am so glad they will be disadvantaging the children of liberals.

Nothing in life is fair. Someone always has more, and someone always has less, and people have different things. Some people are smarter than others. Some people are better looking than others. Some have natural gifts, and some don’t. This is why Socialism ultimately doesn’t work, why totalitarian systems always end up with serfs and overlords. Parents should try to give their kids every advantage they can, and let the miserable left have the guilt.
