Leftist writer calls for parenthood to be abolished to achieve equity, says your children should be given to 'homeless neighbors' or to the state

[pipedreams]

Doesn't get much crazier than this.

"The outlandish proposal was presented in an article published in the "opinion" section of the Ventura County Star – a daily newspaper published in California. The publication is owned by Gannett – the largest newspaper company in the United States. The article, titled "California should abolish parenthood, in the name of equity," was also republished by Yahoo in its "news" section.

The article touts Californians as having the goal of "equity" to be their "greatest value." However, Mathews notes that parenthood prevents true equity because "fathers and mothers with greater wealth and education are more likely to transfer these advantages to their children, compounding privilege over generations."

To combat this perceived inequity, Mathew presents a "solution" of "making raising your own children illegal."

The radical proposal calls for wealthy parents to "trade" kids with poor families and vice versa. Mathews – who describes himself as a "dad" in his Twitter profile – even suggests, "Homeowners might swap children with their homeless neighbors.""

"The leftist writer explains how abolishing parenthood would benefit Democrats.

"Democrats also would have the opportunity to build a new pillar of the safety net — a child-raising system called 'Foster Care for All,'" he says."

Just when you think that no one could be more stupid and ignorant than when they publically say what they think, along comes a greater stupid idiot and proves you wrong.

I wish the author's parents had given him to a serial killer so we could find out just how his theory would come out.  Maybe to the serial killer's neighbor....................................

"Mathews" needs to be institutionalized, for his own good and for the good of the society.  You can't fix that kind of crazy.

Problem is there are a bunch of Mathews loose in our society.

[holyjohnson]

his Parents should have started with him.

"Journalists" say dumb **** like this to get a Headline, its the only way they stay Syndicated anymore.

Newspaper Circulation drops by Percentages every year, it has not Increased in over a Decade and few are even Maintaining the Circulation they have now.

 

these MoonBats have to say Stupid things to get Publicity to even get Internet Headlines to get Ad Revenue.

all it is is an attention grabber to get TV time and Ad clicks.

There's deranged and then there is dangerously deranged.  Put him in a straight jacket and medicate him heavily.  Oh wait, he's probably already heavily medicated, he is from California.

The day will come that our only defense will to line these people up against a wall. Bit by bit , chip by chip, they are winning.

Sounds typical coming out of California. There seems to be no bottom to their depths. 

[DAKA]

Just about EVERYTHING STUPID and CRAZY comes from CALIFORNIA (Well look who lives there)

Whether to give your children to the state or to a drug addled homeless psycho would be a tough choice but ultimately the kids might be better off with the psycho.

We really need to nuke that place.

One psycho, or a million organized ones? Hard choice indeed.

My solution to this problem is to make Matthews continuing to waste oxygen  by breathing illegal.

So let's take the children away from the people that actually want them, and give them to the people that don't?

Am I missing something here?

My family took in foster kids and adopted 2 kids. Most of them came from some really fucked up situations. Kids shouldn't be taken from the frying pan and tossed into the fire.

My wife's family did too. That rodeo ain't for just any cowboy. Net gain in misery.

We sometimes had up to 12 kids in the house. Started out with just us 4 brothers, then there were 2 adopted kids, and guardians for 3 siblings, plus fosters.  Seems there was often 1 or 2 just flopping there because they had nowhere else to go. Had an NDN friend from the Rez who would stop by in the middle of the night and curl up on a rug on the floor in the bedroom I shared with one of my brothers. Usually, he was on his way home riding his motorcycle and was too drunk to continue. Interesting times.

Just another crazy dem/lib idea. They have no common or other type sense!

The Shakers successfully abolished parenthood within their group. 

[Peng]

If this is what they let go to print, I'd like to see a column that they chose not to publish because it was too stupid.

If there ever was one that is.

Maybe that's why they went extinct.
