Parents reading to kids blasted as 'unfair'
Leftist professor makes astonishing claim

Does reading to your children somehow give them an unfair advantage over less fortunate children?

A British philosopher is making that claim, and it’s causing ripple waves across the globe.

A story on the website of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s website asks: “Is having a loving family an unfair advantage?”

It raises the question: “Should parents snuggling up for one last story before lights out be even a little concerned about the advantage they might be conferring?”

Professor Adam Swift

“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,” British academic Adam Swift told ABC’s Joe Gelonesi.

“Evidence shows that the difference between those who get bedtime stories and those who don’t – the difference in their life chances – is bigger than the difference between those who get elite private schooling and those that don’t,” Swift said.

In his article, Gelonesi added: “This devilish twist of evidence surely leads to a further conclusion that perhaps – in the interests of leveling the playing field – bedtime stories should also be restricted.”

What an idiot. Apparently, his parental units didn't read to him.

This is probably the beginning salvo in the left's plan to take away all children from their parents. Since its 'unfair' that some kids have good parents and others get not so good parents, therefore the state must raise all children so everyone has equality in how they are raised to the left's convoluted thinking.

I kid you not.......this is coming.
