Honestly, and I'm just going to throw this out there, parents have way too many rights in regards to their children. I've seen parents demand their children with severe mental disabilities be jammed into standard schooling with other kids, dragging those kids down and putting their own children in impossible situations. The allowance to drug the hell out of a kid is ludicrous. And there are far too many morbidly obese children who are told it's ok because that's just who you are.
Not saying yay UN by any means but people screaming parents rights need to get over it. Parents have far too much leeway to devastate their children because they think, no matter what doctors, scientists, psychologists or common sense tell them is best, they and they alone should be the sole deciding factor in everything in their children's lives. Mom and dad don't always know best, there are some simple and basic ideas which should override a parent's wants and if they disagree? Well then they really shouldn't be responsible for a human life to begin with.
You can actually thank Bush's baby...."No Child Left Behind" for this little nugget.....
