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.

Wanna bet?
We are not a communist state yet! Parents are responsible for their children not a village!!
BS dumbasses! Take a hike!
When did humans begin turning into such ignorant assholes?
If they don’t belong to their parents, then whomever they do belong to should have to foot the bills to raise them.
They sure a sale. Hell don’t belong to the government!
Family First!
Hitler used the same propaganda. Everything and everyone belongs to the state.
American values say: government does not belong interfering in family personal matters. You don’t have to give up your freedom to the state.
Herr$#%&!@*thought the same
Totally WRONG. Children are not property….but they do belong to their parents until they are at least 18. Parents are responsible for meeting all their needs including physical, mental, moral, and spiritual. Unless the children are being neglected or abused, the government should stay out of a family’s life!
