Leftist Driver's Ed

Found this at Helvidius, a Pachyderm (This page explains the blog's title). This post is about how liberals in this country would run driver's Ed classes in their own little liberal utopia (HT: 4Simpsons Blog):
While we hope that you will all make your own decision on when to drive and do so responsibly, we want you to know that we’ll be passing out cars at the end of class for anyone who can’t afford one. After all, you shouldn’t be precluded from driving just because you can’t afford your own car and your parents won’t pay for it.

Accidents happen. It’s not your fault or anything that could have been prevented by waiting a bit longer to get your license. Unfortunately, the Hyde Amendment prevents the government from paying for your accident and repairing the damage to your car. In six years, when you are old enough to vote, demand that your politicians support the right of teenagers to experience driving. No rich white man should treat a car accident as the consequence of irresponsible and reckless driving.
