[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 377868, member: 1550"] Back to the pregnant woman and her husband: If they do have a home birth and the child has no SSN or birth certificate, then the government won't know about the child and there is nothing having a Big Brother system could do anyway. Did you know the Amish do not register births, take ANY pictures of anyone, have SSNs, send their kids to school beyond eighth grade, etc? Their schools are not public and the teachers are not college grads or educated much. I don't approve of that, but is it my place, or our government's place, to tell the Amish how to educate their kids? They are a very segregated group and often very afraid of people of color. Do we force them to assimilate? I thinkt he government should stay out of parenting choices. Not everyone is going to be tolerant, even if he or she goes to school. We know that there is hatred and conflict amongst certain groups in certain schools...school can't stop that. I think it's scary that the UN would have ANYTHING to do with schooling in the US. I don't think that, in the end, the US will accept this ruling. Most of us prefer to make our own decisions about our children without government intrusion. When there IS government intrusion, they seem to do a horrible job. Just look at CPS. They can be frightening. Anyway, JMO ;) [/QUOTE]
