Boy’s test demands definition of FAMILY; only a liberal could think he was WRONG

Family just isn’t what it used to be.

Slate writer Will Saletan shared a portion of a test his son took where the definition of the word “family” was so “inclusive” it could mean almost anything.

Saletan’s son lost five points on the health test because, when asked to identify the definition of the word “family” from a multiple choice list, he (logically) assumed the test was referring to related individuals who live together.

How small-minded, right?

The question seemed straightforward:

Family is: Select one:

A) Should be two parents, children and perhaps some extended members living together.

B) Should have two working adults to provide food and shelter to its members.

C) A collection of related-by-blood individuals living together.

D) Should provide the wants and needs of its younger members.

E) A collection of individuals who care for and about each other.

 

It’s easy to see how someone could get this incorrect. According to the lesson plan, “two parents, children, and perhaps some extended members living together” doesn’t meet the criteria for a family.

Nor is “two working adults” providing for other members.

And apparently a “collection of related-by-blood individuals” is too narrow of criteria to be considered accurate.

Instead, “a collection of individuals who care for and about each other” is the appropriate answer. And if it sounds like that’s roughly the definition of a commune, that’s because it is pretty close.

com·mune – kämyo͞on/ noun:

1) A group of people living together and sharing possessions and responsibilities.

 

Social media users were almost as astounded as Saletan that the word “family” was defined broadly enough to include virtually any group of mutually “loving” people.

As one Twitter user noted, it turns out that the Manson Family really was an actual family, according to the test. (Probably a little patriarchal for current liberals, though.)
