Square peg.
Round hole.
And they get paid good money for that level of clown stuff.
IMAGINE: Ms. Ann, don't bother about little Billy's report card. I'll write it. Why not, I'm his dad. I go first. The wife writes the next one. Never mind anything else. I voted for Cal Bahr.
OR: Sorry what happened to Little Billy. But Danny's dad thought his son's education included taking a handgun to school, and Danny's dad has the right to make that decision, because . . .
OR: Sally's reached fourth grade already and you've not taught her a thing about Jesus, Marx, the genome, Protocols of the Elders, or quantum mechanics. Do your job . . .
AND YOU CAN SAY, WELL, THEY DON'T MEAN THAT . . .
OF COURSE NOT!
What they mean is biased and ignorant parents should have a right to assure offspring is as biased and ignorant of things as they are, the rest of the world be damned.
__________UPDATE__________
Try this out with your thinking bonnet on: That was the start of subsection (a) of the provision, set out above. Subsection (d) then adds:
(d) This section does not authorize or allow a parent to abuse or neglect a minor child in violation of state law. This section shall not be construed to apply to a parental action or decision that would end life. This section does not prohibit courts, law enforcement, or a government agency from acting in an official capacity within the reasonable and prudent scope of their authority and these rights.
So, no abuse. Good. The daughter cannot get an abortion becase we four sponsors believe an embryo is an alive human. Cops are okay. Agencies acting as we four think they should, that's okay too.
What else does it altogether mean than fuck the schools, we know best?
How could such a level of people be voted into an office of responsibility over the laws of the State? It boggles the mind.
Read that over and over, that proposal of new law. Think about it.
Somebody elected these four.
