You read that right folks. This is how crazy the left is today.
Joe Mathews wrote in a column titled, “California should abolish parenthood, in the name of equity,” “If California is ever going to achieve true equity, the state must require parents to give away their children.”
Mathews opined that “[t]oday’s Californians often hold up equity — the goal of a just society completely free from bias — as our greatest value” and that California Governor Gavin Newsom makes decisions through “an equity lens,” then added, “But their promises are no match for the power of parents.”
Turning to class warfare, he propounded, “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.”
Mathews continued, “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,” he sniffed. “But my proposal is quite modest, a fusion of traditional philosophy and today’s most common political obsessions.”
