Yet, the point remains that exposure to ideas is what the "parents-rights" groups rail against. That's where they so differ from the vast majority of parents who more value training kids to learn and think, to evaluate. They can't do that without the ideas and information. <BR/><BR/>As to your allusion to corporal punishment, you should speak with representatives of the groups, read their literature and visit their websites. Beating children when they want, or as they put it generally "lovingly train", is exactly what they demand. No one is supposed to tell them when or how hard they can beat their kids.<BR/><BR/>I have never hit my children and believe that it is absolutely unnecessary to do so to raise respectful and well behaved offspring. However, I was not firmly anti-spanking until I began to read and hear what the parents-rights groups demand. They are scary.massmarrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02358207247771711952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703913.post-84233318330685446592007-12-12T08:32:00.000-05:002007-12-12T08:32:00.000-05:00..."...

And state officials regularly force children into viewing the world similarly as they would, and undermines the children's rights as well as the parents.<BR/><BR/>By saying they are calling for an allowance to beet up children with sticks (which they are not), your writings are preduce with a lack of understanding.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
