We all need to be aware that Trump is likely going to do something big on this day in an attempt to distract us from this. We can’t let ourselves fall for it. And hopefully the media won’t give it any oxygen either.

NEW: Many of the unaccompanied minors who Trump is trying to traffic to Guatemala today are in foster care - some of which seem to be Christian facilities. These 10 represent a putative class of nearly 600 children nationwide. Our government is trafficking children.

No they do not. Only when it comes to curriculum and then parents can opt their child out. Protecting ones own rights does not mean you are now the boss or control of anyone else. We are talking control of the child not the school.

Well society disagrees with you and also so would most parents. Many states have those types of laws protecting parental rights. But no one should be allowed to ban books except for their child.

Actually it is their right to attempt to control what their own children have access to. I said check out but if the child wants to sit in a library - oh well. The only discretion the school has is availability not force other than actual text books.

I already said no one should ban books. But if they want to forbid a library from letting them check one out that is their right - again stupid and if you do not think over time children see that then you do not give them the credit they deserve

I already stated how they could do it it if is pushed but no teachers are there to teach students not raise them. This is part of the issues with education - that responsibility should be fully with the parents and then they should be held accountable when that is not done.

Public schools are exposure and it is great. I would hope that all parents are involved but they are not but want control and as long as they are not physically harming the child you have no say otherwise you are supporting a child raised by the state. (2

A child is a great investment not for returns but to achieve a great human being. I think I have expressed that unless the child is closed up from life you can not stop exposure and the is the saving grace to stupid parents.

As children grow they develop their own personalities and desires so then they become responsible for their actions - nature has an effect but it is not 100% of what makes a person. Unless you raise the child in a closet they will be exposed to everything eventually. (4

if you remove parental rights than you are saying that children belong to the state and not parents, so basically they have no responsibilities. You must look at the long term issues. We know that authorities (teachers, etc.) harm children also so again perfection is not possible.

Well that is true but parents do have authority over children and the right to control access to children (stupid or not) so it goes back to parents and like I said previously if you forbid the child odds are they will be reading it anyway. Then they can make up their own minds.
