"Professor: If You Read To Your Kids, You’re ‘Unfairly Disadvantaging’ Others"

Professor of Philosophy: “I don’t think parents reading their children bedtime stories should constantly have in their minds the way that they are unfairly disadvantaging other people’s children, but I think they should have that thought occasionally,”

But he reveals himself, it's only a perverse anticapitalist mindset: “we could prevent elite private schooling without any real hit to elite family relationships.”

I truly understand a professor who don't have to care about the real world saying such nonsense. I'm a professor myself, I know what I'm talking about.

But I can't swallow people doubting themselves because of pompous titles. This is how the reporter finishes her article.

"In general, I tend to believe that focusing on improving things for the less fortunate is a better way to advance our society than purposely making things worse for those who have more, but what do I know? After all, it’s not like I’m a philosopher or anything."

Come on, you see something is wrong and you doubt yourself instead of questioning it? This is just an anecdote that shows why traditional media is so doomed.
