If California is ever going to achieve true equity, the state must require parents to give away their children.
...
Fathers and mothers with greater wealth and education are more likely to transfer these advantages to their children, compounding privilege over generations.
As a result, children of less advantaged parents face an uphill struggle, social mobility has stalled, and democracy has been corrupted.
..
My solution — making raising your own children illegal — is simple, and while we wait for the legislation to pass, we can act now: the rich and poor should trade kids, and homeowners might swap children with their homeless neighbors.
Now, I recognize that some naysayers will dismiss such a policy as ghastly, even totalitarian. But my proposal is quite modest, a fusion of traditional philosophy and today’s most common political obsessions.
In his “Republic,” Plato adopted Socrates’ sage advice — that children “be possessed in common, so that no parent will know his own offspring or any child his parents” — in order to defeat nepotism, and create citizens loyal not to their sons but to society.
...
My proposal also should be politically unifying, ...
The left’s introduction of anti-racism and gender identity in schools faces a bitter backlash from parents.
( cuz61- notice the weasel the author pulls by reffering to ' the left' as if his ideas aren't as totalitarian left as it gets !)
Ending parenthood would end the backlash, helping dismantle white supremacy and outdated gender norms. Democrats also would have the opportunity to build a new pillar of the safety net — a child-raising system called “Foster Care for All.”
Over on the right, Republicans are happy to jettison parents’ rights in pursuit of their greatest passions, like violating migrant rights.

This is who they are
( not us )
“homeowners might swap children with their homeless neighbors. “
What’s nuts about wanting children to give up a nice secure and safe home and go live in some meth tent city with deranged addicts? Check your uppity privilege bro.
It was part of the program all along.
Very Swiftian: “this proposal is quite modest,”
Look up “A Modest Proposal” by Jonathan Swift which also dealt with children
the lost art of satire. sigh
That is an old communist idea.
Israel tried it.
But humans are funny, we often want to raise our kids. It is wired into us.
He’s trying to channel Jonathan Swift but this is a muddled mess. By the way, it was the Obama administration that started separating illegal immigrant children from the adults they were with. Genetic testing revealed a staggering THIRTY PERCENT of those children were not genetically related to the adult(s) they were with. Human trafficking anyone?
Problem is they are dead serious. They are also insane - refusing to acknowledge nature as it has been ever since people appeared on the face of the Earth.
This has always been a Democrat goal.
What the Nazis did to the Jews, Democrats will do to us.
Is this supposed to be satire?
gtfo!!! who IS this guy? Is writing from an asylum ( haha i know the crazies are out amoungst us now)
I’m a touch surprised that this did not come from the Babylon Bee, lol.
LOL! (It’s supposed to be funny, right? This guy IS joking, right....?)

Well put.
I honestly thought that was the Babylon Bee.
Read about the Sansdemic - loss of people. Our birth rate is on a negative track that cannot be turned around. There won’t be any kids in the future.
I think that the two of you got it right that he is attempting to 'channel' Swift but swift he isn't! This line is the giveaway methinks; "But my proposal is quite modest, a fusion of traditional philosophy and today’s most common political obsessions."
None-the-less, I would like to see (would that it were possible) how many in Crazyfornia would mull over this with a degree of approval. I caution that it would be unwise to dismiss this as absurd, given what we see from the "Iron Pyrite State" of late!
Those who are unequal are not equal because they are at root unequal to their betters.
At least half the population serves as better to the lower unequal half.
The unending quest for equity is futile on a macro scale
As if Yahoo News could tell the difference…
