FARMING OUT THE KIDS. In this post I noted that a Mother Jones quote would likely turn up after I had logged off. It proved to be somewhat longer after than I had anticipated, but it turned up. Or did it? The only Google reference I found to it was this Bill Kauffman essay, part of this The American Enterprise issue, without further footnoting. Note also the context: Mother Jones was in particular displeased with the upper-class practice of contracting out child rearing to poorer people, generally poorer women.
