"I'm sorry, you're not white so you can't be a parent" is, historically, how that'd go.
There's still tens of thousands of people alive right now that were forcefully sterilized up until the late 70s. 10 years ago we passed laws to help the victims. We can find and talk to people who have had their "parenting license" taken away by the state.
Yeah. I was still thinking I was in a normal society for a moment, it's still kind of hard to accept that this is what's happening.
I hate that you are right.
At least some mandatory education would be a good idea.
Right, that would be a better idea.
Who is granting these licenses and what are the criteria?
In the US right now, it seems that you may be required to reject vaccinations and to poison your children. The guy in charge of the agency eats roadkill and had a worm eating his brain (not attacks—facts out of his own mouth).
Be careful what you wish for.
Right. This situation is f*cked.
Um. Think for a moment, who'd be granting these licenses?
your local christian priest of course.
I know, I know. It's not that simple. Wishful thinking.
I can! Am I qualified? Doubt it. That makes me the perfect candidate it seems.
While you're at it, also licenses for government officials please! The man is minister of health damn.
YES!
