Harvard student newspaper urges ‘cap on privilege’ - EAGnews.org
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – According to the Harvard Crimson, there should be a “cap on privilege.” 
Oh, and the black governor is engaging in population control.

Editorial writer Tez M. Clark opines in a piece with the subtitle “White Noise:”

This summer, Massachusetts Governor Deval L. Patrick ‘78 rather surreptitiously signed a bill that nominally will cut down on welfare fraud. The practical consequences of this bill for Massachusetts’s lower-income families are severe. It will narrow the disability requirements for welfare recipients, and force women to work into their third trimester of pregnancy.

These new obstacles are only additions to an already harsh welfare program, which is funded by Temporary Aid for Needy Families, a federal block grant created in 1996. TANF is allocated to states, primarily for the purposes of funding welfare and was instituted by the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act. One of the components of TANF is a family cap, which financially penalizes families for having children while on TANF by refusing to provide for newer children when calculating benefits.

“In essence, family caps are a way of reducing reproduction based on class,” she says.

In other words, Patrick – a black man – is engaging in population control “based on class.”
