All manner of new governmental powers are justified in the name of “the children,” from enhanced regulation of communications to special punishments for “hate speech;” from the empowerment of social service institutions to crack down on parents who try to discipline their children, to the mammoth expansion of sexual quotas from university athletic programs to private businesses.

Spot on. What I don’t get is why they can get away with this crap. We are putting our children into a financial debt to The State that they will never be able to pay off!
