Parents reading to kids blasted as 'unfair'
http://www.wnd.com/2015/05/parents-reading-to-kids-blasted-as-unfair/Does reading to your children somehow give them an unfair advantage over less fortunate children?
A British philosopher is making that claim, and its causing ripple waves across the globe.
British academic Adam Swift told ABCs Joe Gelonesi.
Evidence shows that the difference between those who get bedtime stories and those who dont the difference in their life chances is bigger than the difference between those who get elite private schooling and those that dont, 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.
Swift is a professor of political theory at the University of Warwick in the U.K., and the co-author of Family Values: The Ethics of Parent-Child Relationships. He was educated at Harvard University and Oxford University in the 1980s.
Rush Limbaughs response:
One wacko, one lunatic, one extreme l*****t who is obsessed with this perverted definition of fairness and e******y and who is determining that parents who can read to their kids at night are giving them an unfair advantage.
All of this is rooted in the idea that nobody should be any different we should all be the same, we should all turn out the same, Limbaugh continued.

But, of course, were not all the same. Nobodys the same. And these people always insist, nevertheless, with enforcing uniformity on everyone.
Limbaugh concluded: As liberals, the answer is not to help the kids who are not in good families. They become the lowest-common denominator. They become the baseline. Everybody must be made to be like them in order for everything to be fair and equal. The natural tendency of the left is to punish success, to punish achievement, to punish anything that they believe gives an unfair advantage.
