Well that makes me feel slightly hysterical but less surprised than I really would like to be. These are also the kids that think Orwell’s 2+2=5 is the people who are telling them men can’t become women.

Don’t think I’m the only one wishing we could resurrect Huxley and Orwell to set the record straight.
