I love the literary discussions. I used to be a high school teacher and I taught Harrison Bergeron every single year as part of my dystopia unit. Always one of the best lessons and class discussions of the year. I wonder now if I'd even be able to teach this anymore, which is sad.

I now see this story as anti ESG, DEI, and CRT. All of which demand a smothering of success by unflavored groups.
