Very telling that parents prioritizing the well being of their children above all else horrifies the left.

I'm not sure why anyone persists in describing the NYT as ever "striving for excellence." My sixth grade teacher thought so too, and she was wrong then.

I was of course too young to have read the Walter Duranty masterpieces, but I first noticed something stinky during the Iran-Iraq war, which dragged on for almost eight years. Depending on American politics during that time, Saddam Hussein was either a noble leader of his people or a vile monster. Began to make my head spin, and vaporized my trust in any narrative ever after.

It's doing its propaganda work diligently now, mostly staffed by and entirely aimed at a certain set of the Democratic party elite. The self-referential circle of life.

But yes, I'll agree, it's certainly a sort of extreme deviancy to be willing to risk losing one's social set just to protect the lives and happiness of one's children. This is the horror of our time.
