“I don’t think parents reading their children bedtime stories should constantly have in their minds the way that they are unfairly disadvantaging other people’s children, but I think they should have that thought occasionally,” he said.

You can always recognize a Leftist by their Zero Sum thought processes.

Providing an advantage to one person does not necessarily create a disadvantage to another person.

In this case there can be no disadvantage to another person’s child by reading to your child because there is no irreplaceable resource expended upon your child by reading your child a bed time story.

Some other child will not have the advantage of bed time stories but that is not a disadvantage it is simply an advantage not realized.

However the story deprived child may ultimately be advantaged by the stories your child enjoys by your child growing up to be a more productive person. More productive people enrich society as a whole. The ‘rising tide lifts all boats’ meme is reality regardless of how it is demeaned by the Left.

This professor isn’t “too swift”, is he?

Or, in the alternative, “he’s for the birds”.

Looks like England has just as many aholes for teachers as we do, which explains why they can’t speak proper English (so that you can understand it), capitulate to the Moslem extremists, and only have one? aircraft carrier for a nation that “ruled the waves”.

Not only has the “Great Lion” lost its’ empire, but also its teeth and its balls. Ah, yes, they are British, cousins of the French. That explains it all.

This sort of thinking is exactly why the West is declining.

Parents who read to their kids arent disadvantaging other kids.
The people who don’t read to their kids are the ones “disadvantaging” them.

So, loving your kids is “goods”. Next they will want to tax it.

I would say this has to be a joke, but I know parents who went to their son’s teacher to ask why he wasn’t given his spelling words to study before the tests. The boy was not doing well on the tests, naturally. The teacher told them it wasn’t fair that some kids had parents who would help them study the spelling words. Shortly after this, these parents decided to homeschool.

Need to attack the root cause - defund colleges.

Typical “liberal intellectual-think” The person who should feel bad is the one who takes time and effort to help their kids be successful vs. the one who does nothing to help their kids with anything except the development of street “smarts”....

Is this a joke? Has to be a joke. No one is this stupid and evil.
