THE LONG MARCH THROUGH THE INSTITUTIONS IS COMPLETE–THE LEFT CONTROLS TEEN VOGUE: Teen Vogue publishes a column entitled “No Class” written by a leftist union organizer. The most recent installment is “What the Labor Movement Wants from Joe Biden.” Of particular interest to me was its demand for the repeal of the so-called “subminimum wage” for severely disabled workers.

There’s one thing you can count on:  Eliminating the “subminimum wage” will almost certainly eliminate jobs for Down Syndrome workers. I can only assume that’s what unions want.  They’re just not allowed to say it.

A couple of months ago, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights issued a report that sided with the labor movement on this issue. (As usual, I dissented.)  It received almost 10,000 public comments on this topic—more than we have ever received on any topic. About 98% of those who submitted comments—most of them parents or other relatives of severely disabled workers—urged the Commission NOT to eliminate the sub minimum wage option.    Apparently, we are supposed to believe that Teen Vogue and the labor movement care more about the welfare of Down Syndrome workers than their own parents do.
