One of the most reliable tactics of the left, from its softer and more “respectable” incarnations to the hardcore socialists, involves going after small children. If “activists” can get kids while they’re young and pump their heads full of propaganda, they can build an unquestioning army good for years of service in ideological crusades. If nothing else, they’ll become confused and bitter adults who flail around helplessly in a world they were never prepared to succeed in, which makes them useful fodder for “community organizers.”
