Cooked Goose is Our Special Today
Under the heading of "Do as I say, not as I do!" parents on New York's Upper West Side are furious about the school district's plan to introduce a "diversity initiative" to their school. This neighborhood is one of the most progressive neighborhoods in the country. Forty years ago, Pauline Kael, a noted film critic and resident of the Upper West Side, famously quipped after Richard Nixon won the Presidency:
" I can’t believe Nixon won. I don’t know anyone who voted for him."
That's probably a true statement for the Upper West Side and reflective of the area's values, except when it comes to their kids. It's fine to take the oh-so-PC position that other kids and parents need to accept what is best for them in terms of all the most recent social engineering programs crammed down their throats by their elite betters, but when it comes to their kids ... watch out! Think I'm overstating? Be sure to watch the video clip in the article.
Well folks, what's good for the goose is good for the gander. How do you like your goose cooked? Or perhaps all these programs aren't good for anybody and we should have a real conversation about what is really in our kids' best interest.
