Nanny State Mission Creep: Parental Rights

Government wants to push parents to the sidelines – not for harming their children, but for not complying with the state-prescribed notions of child rearing.
Is it possible that we are moving toward “socialized parenting”, where the state arbitrarily decides what is best for ALL children?
We have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents or kids belong to their families and recognize that kids belong to whole communities. Once it’s everybody’s responsibility, and not just the households’, then we start making better investments.” ~ Melissa Harris-Perry (MSNBC Lean Forward Promotion)
