Is the Time willing to acknowledge the leftist indoctrination of children because it thinks the process is complete?

For adults, the NYTimes is the major propaganda tool for socialism.

“After all, most parents want their children to be far left in their early years — to share toys, to eschew the torture of siblings, to leave a clean environment behind them, to refrain from causing the extinction of the dog, to rise above coveting and hoarding,...”

Uh....that is NOT being liberal necessarily. What nonsense!

I read an artical a while back that said the lefties are not reproducing as much as the conservatives are and the Demos are concerned about this in the future. It explained that lefties are more concerned with wealth and usually have only l maybe 2 children. The conservatives usually have 2-3-4 children. Don't know it's true but hopefully it's true. At least that would give us hope for the future.

they didn’t say liberal, they said “far left”

zero said the same thing, that communism was about sharing toys

children shouldn’t be forced to share their toys. they should have their own toys, and if another child wants to play with it, they should be able to negotiate

They've already thought of that: public education.

You’ll get a headache!

That said, I didn’t think there was anything Marxist about “Danny and the Dinosaur.”

You cannot “take back the schools”. People have been doing that “Pickett’s Charge” for at least 50 years. What you can do is deprive the government schools of your little revenue units and encourage others to do the same. The sooner the schools collapse the better.

Really? Most parents want their children to think the world owes them everything, to throw tantrums when they don't get what they want, and police every action of their peers? I never knew.

I didn't say it was possible. I think it is vital.

The Liberal/Marxist have already given me a headache. ;-)

Sorry! Don’t know Danny and the Dinosaur. But sounds like my 4 year old grandson would love it. :-)

It’s a cute story, and a bright 4-year-old can read it. It was one of two children’s books at my father’s farmhouse in Missouri, so it was memorized during deer season when the children couldn’t go out!

I was going to say the same thing. All Christians should practice social justice, because that is the way that Jesus taught us to live. Socialism is something entirely different. Even if it does encourage some of the same actions of those who practice social justice in a Christian way, it's not done so for salvific reasons.

You actually think that a person’s political orientation is determined by their genes? I’m reminded of the story of the preacher’s daughter. Compré?
