The next step in the culture war is the assault on the traditional family

After the leftist progressives have tackled police and government, they will come for the family. The idea is that having family, growing up with two parents, is privileged, and that this creates inequity. Any inequity must be crushed.

Bethany Letiecq, professor in the Human Development and Family Science program at George Mason University called for the abolishing of family, and this concept has been increasingly growing in academic circles. There have been several recent articles calling for abolishing of the family, including in Open Democracy, Outline, and even The Nation. Letiecq, the author of  a paper “Surfacing Family Privilege and Supremacy in Family Science: Toward Justice for All,” coined the concept of Family privilege. These arguments are all rhetorically similar and are couched in ideas of “justice.”
