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.
They are entrusted by God to their parents not to the government.
Wasn’t that the philosophy of both$#%&!@*and Stalin?
they don’t belong to the government or the community , they are God’s , given to the parents
That is one nasty b•tch
Exactly what I was thinkin.
well, sadly, it’s true …
we all forfeited total ownership of our children once we filled out and signed those Birth Cert. application …. it says so right in their list of stipulations …. and it’s really sad that no one reads the fine print ….
Not to OWN them, but to care for them, to raise them to be responsible adults.
“We need to remind ourselves that parents do not have rights regarding their children, they only have duties, the principal duty being to act in their children’s best interests.”
“If we are concerned with the language of rights, it is, of course, children who have rights; any rights that parents have exist only to protect their children’s rights.”
