[QUOTE="klmno, post: 377897, member: 3699"] I'm chiming in without looking into and reading everything posted here just to express an opinion that I feel strongly about- if parents are staying within appropriate boundaries as far as not abusing or neglecting their child and complying with laws, I personally don't think anyone has a right to tell them how to raise their children. And in our country, we would lose the whole essence of our freedom if our government keeps moving in a direction where they want to tell us how to raise our kids. That doesn't mean I agree with every other parents' choices, I can assure you I don't. But every parent has a right to teach their children their beliefs, morals, etc, whether I happen to agree with them or not, as long as they are staying within those basic boundaries. Yes, there are ignorant parents out there, but having a government dictate to them how to raise their children is just wrong and goes completely against the freedom we are supposed to have in our country, in my humble opinion. The way to help that problem is public education- and that means "educating" those in the sd a little more too.
