The debate over to whom children ultimately belong is one that has been growing in intensity for some decades. It’s actually not all that new, as governments have argued for greater or lesser control over the children within their jurisdictions for millennia. It just so happens that we’ve been in an era of bigger government, hence the desire by some in government to usurp parents’ rights and responsibilities has grown.
Hillary Clinton inserted herself into the debate years ago, asserting that it “Takes a Village” to properly raise a child as she pronounced in her book. This is the leftist position she maintains and continues to promote. Raising children is ultimately up to the government, she avers, as though anyone with his or her children’s best interests at heart would want them to grow up to be like the Clintons.
But it’s not just Hillary who is on the wrong side of this issue. There are many in academia who are proposing similar theories. Pushed to the extreme, it become a policy of either raise your kids within government guidelines, or the government will seize them and raise them for you.
More on where this trend is going is on page two.
In one way that’s right. Children are a gift from God. They are on loan from Him. And they do not belong to the government.
Is there some kind of “stupid” contest out there, where players try to out-stupid each other?
That’s a inch away from liberals selling them as organ donars
Come and try to take my kids you’ll die at my front door
CORRECT !!! Children do NOT BELONG to their parents. Children are give to parents by GOD to raise up in the nuture and admonition of GOD. Parents have an awesome responsibility and the GOVERNMENT should stay OUT of the lives of parents who raising their children to KNOW and LOVE God. GOD BLESS godly parents. <3
