Now it appears that Harris-Perry thinks that, after they're born, children fundamentally belong to the state.<br/><br/>Narrating a new MSNBC "Lean Forward" spot, the Tulane professor laments that we in America "haven't had a very collective notion that these are our children." "[W]e have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents or kids belong to their families, and recognize that kids belong to their communities," Harris-Perry argued.<br/><br/>"Once it's everybody's responsibility and not just the households, then we start making better investments." By "investments," of course, Harris-Perry means things like spending "as much in public education as we should have."<br/><br/>Of course, if as Harris-Perry holds,"[t]he cost to raise a child [is] $10,000 a year up to $20,000 a year," and if children should be viewed as collectively "owned" by "society," then taken to its logical extension, a woman's choices about having a child should be informed by the economic considerations of the "community," would it not? But of course, that logic would take someone to justify, for example, the "one-child" policy in Communist China.<br/><br/>What's more, the notion of collective responsibility for children was a philosophy that undergirded the Cultural Revolution in Communist China under Chairman Mao. I bring that up because, as you may recall, another Harris-Perry "Lean Forward" spot contains a reference to a "great leap forward," which calls to mind the disastrous agricultural reform plan which starved millions of Chinese to death in the 1950s.<br/><br/>News Busters: MSNBC's Harris-Perry: America's 'Kids Belong to Their Communities'<br/><a href="http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/ken-shepherd/2013/04/04/msnbcs-harris-perry-americas-kids-belong-their-communities" target="_blank" title="http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/ken-shepherd/2013/04/04/msnbcs-harris-perry-americas-kids-belong-their-communities" rel="nofollow" dir="ltr" class="yt-uix-redirect-link">http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/ken-...</a> <br/> <object id="obj_1339446151406" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" height="500" width="459"><param name="AllowScriptAccess" value="never"></param><param name="AllowNetworking" value="all"></param><param name="AllowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="flashvars" value="cid=1339446151406&amp;a=999999&amp;b=100&amp;c=333333&amp;d=FFFFFF&amp;g=333333&amp;j=333333&amp;k=FF0033&amp;l=000000&amp;p=16&amp;s=1"></param><param name="src" value="http://12160mhz.chatango.com/group"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="never"></param><param name="allownetworking" value="all"></param><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"></param><embed wmode="opaque" class="" id="obj_1339446151406" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://12160mhz.chatango.com/group" allowscriptaccess="never" allownetworking="all" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="cid=1339446151406&amp;a=999999&amp;b=100&amp;c=333333&amp;d=FFFFFF&amp;g=333333&amp;j=333333&amp;k=FF0033&amp;l=000000&amp;p=16&amp;s=1" height="500" width="459"></embed> <param name="wmode" value="opaque"></param></object> <br/><p></p>
