Parental rights denied by 9th Circuit Court

I'm not sure what the survey intends to accomplish when the subjects don't even have a base understanding of sex. I mean, when you get into 4th and 5th Grade you're gonna have some kids "in the know" who get boners looking at swimsuit calendars, but 1st Graders?

In either case, if parents don't like it, they can send their kids to private school. It's a free country.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

"What Is Sex' has garnered seventy percent of the results, professor."

"GOOD! GOOD! Feed it to the machine!"

All I know is that I certainly wouldn't want my 7 year old asking me what sex was all of a sudden. Aren't I supposed to have time to prepare for these things?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

No, I don't believe I'll ever feel like doing a laid son, thank you very much madam.

Also, how far along is the pregnancy?

When the hell did you guys first find out about babies and sex? Christ, did I drop into Lives-Under-A-Rock-land?

My mom claims that she gave me "The Talk" after the neighbor's kid knocked up his girlfriend and I saw her walking on the sidewalk all pregnant. Of course, I have absolutely no recollection of this, so she could just be feeding me lies.

I remember finding said kid's stash of girly mags, and that would be the first exposure to sexuality that spiralled me into an awkward perversion of pre-adolescent thought.

Isn't childhood wonderful?

How ya doing, buddy?

And yet, the government is still playing the role of parent to everybody in the country. The government decides what we can or can't use, where we can live, what we can do with our money, and how we can conduct ourselves in our own homes (though this is hard to actually enforce).

The government is everybody's parent, because it's assumed for close to a century now that it knows what's best for us, despite the fact that since everything is politicized, "what's best for us" is usually decided by a vocal minority (prohibition). It's an authoritative oligarchy that has no need or consideration for any individualism or "fundamental rights." Bodily autonomy is already out the fucking window.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Faith, Kensaki, the word you're looking for is Faith.

The government really shouldn't have a say in what parents teach their children. If Achmed wants to tell his eldest son that his sister is a harlot because she dresses up like all the other Western girls, that's their business. Whether or not Elder son buys all that crap is up to him.

Children are impressionable, yes, but who is to say who is right? The state, obviously, because that's what you're going for. If, however, we've assumed that only the state can dictate sound morals, then all children should be taken into custody by the state, as their parents can't be trusted.

Of course you have your racists, and your hotheads, but they're free to practice their religions and free to voice their opinions. When an addict teaches his kid how to coke meth, then you have a case for civil services, but you shouldn't be legislating thought.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yes of course most of the time the system shouldn't interfere in a family situation. But doesn't hurt to keep an eye on that. Doesn't go to far from your sister is a harlot too your sister must die cause she has brought shame upon the family. I've seen alot of these cases.

And you're right, in the case where there's a plausible reason to believe that a child is in danger, then the parents should be monitored at least somewhat. However, applying this logic to racism and extremist ideology is specifically infringing on the freedom of speech of the parents. Centuries of liberal thought have insisted that ideas aren't dangerous. If we willingly infringe on people's rights based on any criteria, then we've no claim to them.

Maybe you think the peering eyes over your shoulder is worth the avoidance of some childhood trauma, but I don't.

By the way I'm not directly talking about taking children away from parents, rather keep an eye on suspicious parents that could be gathered from tests like these.

The thing about the survey was that it was anonymous for the participants. In the end, all we get is a bunch of numbers on charts, and parents have to answer awkward questions. No rescued children, no winners, except the surveyors.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

You forgot about incest.
