Sooner or later you must pay for every good deed? This may be the message one hapless boy got after he received a lecture from his woke mother — for getting an award for 100-percent school attendance. It was one incident, but it reflects a wider rot affecting our society.

At issue is a Tuesday piece written by mom Lauren Crosby at The Independent. She begins by telling us that her son came home “beaming with pride” last week because he’d won a pencil case for his impeccable attendance. Now, Crosby doesn’t mention her lad’s age or grade, but given his delight in the pencil case, it sounds as if he’s a fairly young grade-school child.

Most all mothers, of course, would give their boy a pat on the head and congratulate him. But not Crosby. She did manage to say that the pencil case was “lovely,” but then, she writes, she “quickly delivered a monologue to him about how attendance does not make a child good or bad.” And, oh, what a monologue it was.
