zero countries give infinite freedom about how you raise your kids. and if too many parents fail at something probably government should do it for them.

it's like drinking age. you can't send your kid for a beer. you are free to buy beer and let your kid drink a glass. same here. if something is not accessible to the kid directly you can still show it to your kid. you are the parent

> zero countries give infinite freedom about how you raise your kids.

The debate wasn’t about removing all government controls on parenting.

It’s about where to draw the line.


exactly. so who of us said

> let other parents make their own parenting choices for their own kids

like somebody is taking it away?

you are still free to make your choices, just like with feeding your kid beer or giving them cigs. It's just a healthy default is now applied to average kid for whom parents don't care to make choices. Why do you keep arguing and moving goalposts?
