If California is ever going to achieve true equity, the state must require parents to give away their children.

Today’s Californians often hold up equity — the goal of a just society completely free from bias — as our greatest value. Gov. Gavin Newsom makes decisions through “an equity lens.” Institutions from dance ensembles to tech companies have publicly pledged themselves to equity.

But their promises are no match for the power of parents.

The left’s introduction of anti-racism and gender identity in schools faces a bitter backlash from parents. Ending parenthood would end the backlash, helping dismantle white supremacy and outdated gender norms


This column is not satire. It also appeared today on the San Francisco Chronicle’s opinion page.

Notice to author. Separating me from my children would be like stepping between a grizzly and its Cubs

The bonds between parents and their young has been biological fact since the beginning of time. That is settled science.

They can start by allowing all babies to live. Otherwise those commies are just proving over and over how demonic they really are.

The column reads like Jonathan Swift’s “A Modest Proposal”.

Wow! The year 6565 came a little earlier than was previously expected:

In the year 6565
You won’t need no husband, won’t need no wife
You’ll pick your son, pick your daughter too
From the bottom of a long glass tube

His picture looked pretty much like I expected.

Very good dental work, though. I have to wonder how many sets of teeth he’s been through....you know someone has to have punched them out at least once

“The Colin is satire.”

This was my view too. And then it occurred to me—this author is satirizing liberal policy. If this column is satire, then the author is conservative.

This is not really new idea. The communists pushed this idea a long time ago!
“Take all the children from the parents, put them in boarding schools where they will undergo constant indoctrination. That way, we can raise a perfect communist citizens. All equal and all mindless followers of the ruling philosophy!”
It was planned to be implemented in each and every communist country, but in most, it run into major opposition.
Although it was more - less implemented in Cuba and North Korea.
Whoever wrote it is likely a Castro follower.

And one thing I’m certain of—this author isn’t a conservative.

I read it twice. I’d like to believe it is satire, but I am not sure.

The author’s photo portrays a nice looking young man, not a crazy tattooed leftist creep. So that suggests satire.

But it is very hard to tell.

I don’t know. Maybe it is satire. I think this piece is just a failure from beginning to end.

It's not even good satire, which requires a modicum of plausibility to at least get off the ground.

Too clever by half.
