Speaking and writing English perfectly should not be a privilege. To those who try to politicize this matter, I tell them now, do not mess with the future of our children.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I wanted to write for all children, even those kids who might see language as a threatening thing, even if English is their second language.
So the actual privilege is that you can then take time off - and if you don't, you're a fool. You're earning all this money to support children whom you then don't see, which is absurd.
I don't think we should be deprived of the privilege of free speech.
It's received wisdom that the English are uniquely child-unfriendly.
If our language, our programs, our creations are not strongly present in the new media, the young generation of our country will be economically and culturally marginalized.
We write not only for children but also for their parents. They, too, are serious children.
You must never lose that touch of childishness. You need it if you wish to write for children, if you wish to understand the heart of a child. Children are good, you see. And they expect good.
What a privilege it is to be an American!
Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so, too.
You must write for children in the same way as you do for adults, only better.
