I recently saw a meme on FB, with Hillary supposedly making this
statement: "I believe the primary role of the state is to teach, train and
raise children. Parents have a secondary role."
So, taking a look around, I happened on two web pages.
The first, the ever-trustworthy SNOPES, said (probably
correctly) that this was rated "false"; that Hillary had never said
that in her book "It takes a village". Indeed, I don't recall reading
that, either (though, in fairness, I was so mind-numbed reading that piece of
garbage that I could very well have missed it).
But, what SNOPES failed to mention (which I believe is VERY
appropriate to the subject, and the second piece I found) was that Hillary
wrote a series of intellectual essays on children's issuesin the ‘70’s, and in
1977, was hired by the Carnegie Council on Children, as a research assistant
(to respond to sociologist Uri Bronfenbrenner's assertion that child rearing in
the Soviet Union was superior to that of the United States).
As characterized by Joyce Milton, author of "The First
Partner", who considers the panel report "must reading for anyone who
seeks to understand Hillary Rodham's vision for the future of American
families"...the panel started out with the assumption that the “triumph of
the ‘universal entitlement state’ was inevitable, and the best thing Americans
could do for their children was to hasten its arrival.” She went on to state
that the report offered “a blueprint for undermining the authority of parents
whose values the authors considered outmoded.”
In the chapter that Hillary Rodham worked on, titled “Protection
of Children’s Rights”, she states “it has become necessary for society to make some piecemeal
accommodations to prevent parents from denying children certain privileges that
society wants them to have”. Included in these “privileges” are allowing
children to consult doctors for pregnancy and drug-related issues without
parental consent, preventing schools from expelling or suspending disruptive
students and, remarkably, the adoption of a “public advocate” (people who can
speak to children’s issues, against their parents’ wishes).
The report goes
on to say that “In a simpler world, parents were the only advocates for
children. This is no longer true. In a complex society where invisible decision
makers affect children’s lives profoundly, both children and parents need canny
advocates. What if all parents made relatively small financial contributions to
such a cause? It would provide a politically insulated fund for lawyers,
ombudsmen, agency monitors, and even attempts at legislative reform.”
So, did Hillary
actually say the words in that meme? Probably not.
BUT, without
question, those ARE, in fact, her sentiments.
And, not just
hers. The Democrat Party, on whole, advocates for this Soviet-styled child
rearing (remember Barbara Boxer’s advocacy for the UN’s “Children’s Bill of
Rights”?
This sentiment
strongly supports my personal belief that Democrats, in order to establish a
Socialist America, must destroy the notion and sanctity of family. Abortion, “gay”
marriage, Welfare, anti-Christianity, etc…..ALL are pillars supporting the
building of a Socialist nation.
When you vote
for Democrats, you vote FOR the destruction of family.
