The Anointed Want Your Children Screened

Thirty years ago, Thomas Sowell wrote a book entitled The Anointed: Self-Congratulation as a Basis for Social Policy. Sowell argues that a significant portion of our intellectual and political elite have a self-assured “vision” in which they possess superior knowledge, intellect, and morality in comparison to the people over whom they rule.

It’s safe to say this book describes the Democratic Party elites and Republican quislings who rule Illinois with their vision to bring salvation through abortion, marijuana, prostitution, suicide, regulation of homeschooling, and now mandating that all school districts offer mental health screenings annually to students in grades three through 12.
