    I hate it when people try to change reality to fit their whims.

      Says the person doing exactly that.

      Like it or not, parents don’t own children, nor do they have an absolute authority over them.

      If parents abuse or neglect their child (and yes, depriving them of an education is both) then the other responsible adults in that’s child’s life have not only every right, but the absolute responsibility, to override the abusive parents’ instructions or demands, and intervene in the child’s best interest.

        Then take the next step and vote to get those kids taken away, if you think it’s that much harm.

          jesus tapdancing christ, just say you think parents should control every aspect of their child’s lives including everything they THINK and HEAR.

          Child disagrees with parents? Fuck em, parents are always right. Always. Right?

            All I’m saying is that if you want the government to parent the kid, then have the government parent the kid full time.
