I’m reading Joyce Maynard’s autobiography At Home in the World, and it’s really funny to me how back in the 1970s, being suspicious of childhood vaccinations, trying to grow your own food, conducting childbirth and childrearing outside of the official medical and educational apparatus, and being opposed to the state machine was a lefty thing to do.
Of course, the Left has overtaken the state and the official education and medicine, and as a result, it’s the Right that is now suspicious of it. But healthy eating, healthy child-rearing, and valuing freedom to figure out one’s own worldview has traveled to the Right, too.
