Nathan Stone – Sometimes a mask is so completely torn away that only the willfully and ideologically blind or the stupid cannot see what the real game is. Frank Bruni of the New York Times kindly provided those who desire to see with such an opportunity with his own Two Minutes Hate against Florida’s protection of 5- to 9-year-olds from groomers.
The gist and heart of Bruni’s tirade are that in this latest incarnation of the culture war, too much emphasis has been put on “parental rights.” Public schools, he emphasizes, don’t exist “as some bespoke service attending to the material wants and political whims of only those Americans with children in the science lab and on the soccer field.” Instead, their purpose is to service all Americans, whether they have children or not.
