RC> Additionally, there is the question of what to do about
RC> those parents who see their children as free labor and make
RC> schooling secondary to work at home.
DH> Robert, there will always be those who will abuse any
DH> system,
Which is why it's necessary to provide a means to respond
to such abuse.
DH> my point here is simply that I, as a parent, know what is
DH> best for my children, and the state has no right to dictate
DH> to me how to raise, and educate those children.
You, and the majority of parents, don't hesitate to seek
aid for your children when necessary. However, what of the
parents whose religious beliefs deny the utility of moderm
medicine and trust only to prayer while ignoring the
scriptural admonition the God helps those who help
themselves? What of the children who die of untreated
diseases such as meningitis or diabetes?
Has the state no resposibility to those children?
... If any man have an ear, let him hear. (REV 13:9) (KJV)
