Which is why parents should fight back. Big government is like a weed; give it an inch, it'll take up the yard. But that implies you gave it an inch and did little to fight back. Isn't this our responsibility as citizens?

most citizens are too stupid to realize the consequences of giving too many inches, just like most citizens aren't smart enough to get a phd in a scientific field. they clearly shouldn't be allowed any control in the advancements of sciences because they lack qualification. similarly, voting should be restricted to examined and licensed citizens. only drivers who prove to be competent through examanation are licensed to drive on public roads, yet any shmoe can, in essence, vote on public policy matters? (not the best example because one is more of right while the other is more of a priveledge, but you get the idea.)
