...And Lance Armstrong did not win those 7 Tour De France races either!
Last Friday was my five-year-old son Jacob’s first sports day at his primary school, and when he powered over the finish line ahead of all his little classmates, he held his arms aloft and shouted ‘I’m the winner’, only to be taken aside and gently told by his teacher that there were no winners and it was all just a bit of fun.

Get used to it. Your child has 12 more years of indoctrination. After that, he will be a good little comrade. You , on the other hand, need to learn to put the self esteem of all the other little budding comrades above your little racist, capitalist minded son.
Precisely what was intended. The message is be like everyone else. You are no better (or worse) then others and you never will be whether you excel or fail in anything you try.
Truism: Conservatives want everyone to be equal at the starting line. Liberals want everyone to be equal at the FINISH line.
