In sections 440 and 1904 of the House bill (page 838), under the heading "home visitation programs for families with young children and families expecting children." The programs would educate parents on child behavior and parenting skills.
The bill says that government agents "well-trained and competent staff" would "provide parents with knowledge of age-appropriate child development in cognitive, language, social, emotional, and motor domains ... modeling, consulting, and coaching on parenting practices," and "skills to interact with their child to enhance age-appropriate development."
Not on my watch will the government tell me how to parent. How will the government know all about each individual child's social, religious, and emotional development? What ever happened to parenting and their rights as adults who can raise their own children?
But the government will be really helpful according to the bill. The bill points to specific targeted groups and problems, on page 840 for example: The state "shall identify and prioritize serving communities that are in high need of such services, especially communities with a high proportion of low-income families."
So the government becomes a nanny in place of parents in low-income families? Is Obama saying that low-income families are stupid and they don't know how to raise their own kids? Isn't this a stereotype? Isn't this prejudice?
The government health care rationing includes government child care. Children belong to their parents, not the Federal government. The rationing entails the ever-intrusive nanny state to control and co-opt the nation. A free people should resist the government.
The Spartans tried all this in the ancient world and it was unsustainable then and we should know better now.
