Bureaucrats Try to Quash Blues Prodigy's Talents
We don't quite have enough government to have reached the socialist ideal, whereby society resembles a well-manicured lawn, with no blade of grass allowed to grow any higher than the others. An example is 8-year-old guitar prodigy Tallan "T-Man" Latz, who seems to have gotten on older players' nerves by outperforming them.
But we do have enough government so that virtually all human activity violates one regulation or another, permitting those who excel to be brought down to size. Jealous musicians have apparently ratted out T-Man for violating child labor laws, so that he's not allowed to play the blues in clubs anymore.
Intones bureaucretin Jennifer Ortiz of Wisconsin's Equal Rights Division:
Well, the law prohibits it, and the Legislature enacted the laws to protect the health, safety and welfare of all children.
Don't forget, as the government boot stamps down on your face: it's for your own health, safety, and welfare.
On a tip from V the K.

Yes, Gaia-forbid the boy would be out practicing and developing his God-given talent when he should be sitting quietly in a government school being brainwashed into feminist socialism and told how evil his country, gender, and race are.

Go T-man! Skin it back, and let it eat!

Kids sit around and do nothing but eat trans-fats and play video games all day, the bureaucrats aren't happy. Kids go out and learn a skill, or develop a talent, and actually get good enough at it to do what they love to do in public and get paid for it, the bureaucrats aren't happy. You know a bureaucracy is too big when parts of it are diametrically opposed to other parts of it. Which talking head should we listen to?
It's not like this kid is digging ditches or working a 10-hour shift in a steel mill (though as long as his union dues were paid up the moonbats probably wouldn't mind). He plays in a blues club for at most a few hours at a time. And I'm pretty sure no one is holding a gun to his head to make him do it.

He's kinda got that Eddie Munster look, no?
I guess NAMBLA is going to be pissed about this ruling, no? Oh, I forgot. What those Democrat peds do is already illegal, but just overlooked by all of the Clintoon appointed judges.

If he were in a school band, a musical collective, he would be practicing several hours a day and be sent off to a camp for a week every year, and his individual contribution masked by others. He will play what music he is told to, and march in formations that have little to do with what he is best able to do.
