Parents, how would you react if your child started reading Ann Coulter? (Israel, healthcare)

[littletraveller]

Proud? Disappointed? Something in between?

Better Ann Coulter than AOC.

I read some of her stuff (and Ayn Rand) as a teenager to try to challenge my existing beliefs that I held growing up in San Francisco. My parents are stereotypical limousine liberals who scoffed and said I was just being contrary.

Which policy of AOC's is most offensive and a product of evil? Cleaning up the atmosphere or advocating for an uncorrupted level playing field which works for all Americans by guaranteeing affordable healthcare, education and regulations that provide clean food and water? Which one would be the worst influence on a child and would have the most devastating affect? I'm just so curious about this.

Better than Ayn Rand...

My kids are free to read what they want. If they asked what I thought of Ann, I would say her ideas are quite different than mine.

Let's see, she's:

-Antisemitic (you can try to talk it off as being anti-Israel, but when she's hypocritically silent about the abuses of Israel's neighbors while reserving a unique scorn for the sole Jewish state and only true democracy in the region, we all see it for what it truly is);

-Pro killing of unborn babies (people who say they are pro choice but not pro abortion and yet don't criticize the act of abortion show their true colors . . . in any event, the effect is the same regardless);

-Pro open borders and anti-ICE and wants to put people who have zero right to be in our country over actual American citizens, which negatively impacts the US taxpayer and American worker;

-Pro teachers union over true education reform, which is a position that continues to disproportionately negatively impact black and Latino children throughout this country.

-Anti community development as was seen by her opposition to Amazon establishing its new headquarters in NYC, which would have created tens of thousands of six figure jobs (funny, how does she think she's going to fund her Green New Deal if not for wealthier taxpayers ).

I would be terribly disappointed...why read Coulter's trash when there are far better and more significant conservative authors/thinkers to be read:

-Robert George, F.A. Hayek, Milton Friedman, Richard Weaver, Willmoore Kendall, William F. Buckley to name a few;

I'm Jewish and I have not see any anti-Semitism in her ideology. Being anti-Israel/USA policy is not an indicator of anti-Semitism. I am also a New Yorker and in agreement with her stance on Amazon. For starters.
