Well said. It goes hand in hand with your anti-natalist stance.

[quote]Virginia Republicans are back with a new and improved
"Culture Wars" campaign for 2021. The closing argument is once
again full of racial division — but this time it is dressed up
as a defense of little children.
The rallying cry is "Parents’ Rights."
It is a campaign to stop classroom discussion of Black Lives
Matter protests or slavery because it could upset some children,
especially white children who might feel guilt.
And this time, the Trump-imitating Republicans think they have
struck political gold.
Unlike their earlier defense of Confederate monuments, the
"Parents’ Rights" campaign message at first glance looks to have
zero to do with race.
That puts Democrats on the defensive. They are in the
uncomfortable position of calling the attention of suburban
white moms to divisive racial politics being used by Republican
Glenn Youngkin’s campaign.
...
It is not long ago that racist Southern politicians rallied
against integration with an argument for “states’ rights,” a
call to be free of federal laws seeking to end segregation.
Now the message is that white parents are being ignored when
they complain that their children are uncomfortable learning
about racism.
...
McAuliffe “doesn’t think parents should have a say. ... He shut
us out.”
...
The conservative Heritage Foundation and other big right-wing
donors have fueled the fire with what they call the “Great
Parent Revolt of 2021.”[/quote]
There is nothing fundamentally sacred about parents, quite the
contrary. They are the ones who initiated the original violence
on their offspring by forcing them to be born without the
children's own consent. They should be the last ones to be
trusted to make further decisions for their offspring (again
without the children's own consent) This is the True Left stance
on the issue.
The False Left, on the other hand, practically set up this
rightist rhetorical device by sharing the rightist belief in the
fundamental sacredness of parents, but then trying to argue
against parents having final say over what happens to their
offspring from within this paradigm.
Which is not to say that True Leftists support teaching anything
(including the history of racism) to children by compulsion; we
are explicitly against compulsory schooling in general. But
certainly information on the history of racism should be freely
available to all children who voluntarily wish to learn about
this subject. Parents should not be the ones choosing what
information children have access to.
[quote]In Florida, right-wing parents recently complained that
fourth graders had to learn how to spell “isolation” and
“quarantine.” The parents said those are “scary words."[/quote]
I would have preferred spending my childhood in
isolation/quarantine over how I actually spent it: under
tyranny.
[quote]Polls show the big money coming from the right has
resulted in the "Parents’ Rights" movement gaining traction
among white voters.
...
If it works, Republicans will have reason to continue down this
dark path to winning elections.[/quote]
Which brings us back to something else that the False Left needs
to learn to stop sacralizing:

Family estrangement: Why adults are cutting off their parents
[quote]Polarised politics and a growing awareness of how
difficult relationships can impact our mental health are
fuelling family estrangement, say psychologists.[/quote]

Just because someone has the same blood as you does not
automatically make them a good person! Perhaps politics often
highlight how truly tyrannical and ignorant a person is deep
down?
Question: If family (tribalism) is what makes "whites" behave as
badly as they do, why do non-"whites" often preach about how
important tribalism and family are?

Couple DENIED Adoption Of Disabled Child Because They're Jewish
[quote]A Jewish couple from Tennessee had their bid to foster
and adopt a disabled child denied because their faith “didn’t
align” with the adoption agency’s belief system. The couple and
multiple other residents have filed a lawsuit against
Tennessee’s Department of Child Services. [/quote]

I would hope genital mutilation of children who cannot give
their consent would be part of all Child Service's belief
systems. Beating children with rods should also be against all
people's belief systems.

Speaking of traumatizing children:
School Board BANS Award-Winning Holocaust Novel ‘Maus'
[quote]"A school district in Tennessee banned the use of “Maus,”
a Pulitzer-winning graphic novel about the Holocaust, in its
middle school classes, citing the work’s profanity and nudity in
a 10-to-0 vote.
As leaders in conservative areas across the country push for
more control over the way history is taught, the McMinn County
school board expressed concern that the expletives in “Maus”
were inappropriate for eighth-graders. Members also said Art
Spiegelman’s illustrations showing nudity — which depict
Holocaust victims forced to strip during their internment in
Nazi concentration camps — were improper."[/quote]

Would these same false-leftist complain if we banned The Turner
Diaries? Also, cannot help but wonder how many false-leftists
would try and smuggle Trumpists and insurrectionists out of the
country if the True-Left went after Trumpists in any serious
way?
Jesus tried to ban the Old Testament by calling out the
Pharisees and the scribes for their lies and misdirections,
false-leftists led by the rightist Paul\Saul the Pharisee
ensured that it survived. How many non-humans and humans would
have been spared torture mentally, physically, and spiritually,
had Jesus succeeded?

Why Israelis Are Refusing to Send Their Kids on School Trips to

[quote]Critics blame the emotional trauma inflicted on
teenagers, the high cost imposed on parents, and the nationalist
message at the expense of universal values.[/quote]

(I thought Jews wanted their own nation called Israel in
occupied Palestine, why would Jews be anti-nationalism then? How
can tribalists have UNIVERSAL values, is this not an oxymoron?)

schooling is considered dangerous:

6 Pennsylvania middle schoolers sent to hospital after eating
"drug-laced" candy

Even this is not as damaging as circumcision, or compulsory

[Quote]
Representation of childhood in modern western culture is based
on seeing children as flawed and needing to be shaped into
adults. The child is seen as failing to be an adult and
therefore represented as inferior and cannot be trusted to
unfold correctly on her own. Her basic needs are held as “wrong”
and are constantly fought against.
Based on this representation, children are not seen; they join
society when they have been turned into “adults.” The child is
taught adult manners while her childlike ways often elicit
scolding, leaving her feeling failing and dependent on external
guidance. She spends much of her young years with peer groups
controlled by adults.

This is the exact same Western attitude from which (when applied
on a larger scale) comes the terms "developing country" and
"developed country".

Aryan Immaturity
By: SirGalahad Date: May 16, 2022, 9:51 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
I recently saw my mom and sister watching this show called "Old
Enough!", where the main premise is for the parents to set their
very young children off to do errands typically reserved for
adults, alone for the first time. Ethics of the show aside, I
thought it was poignant how when one of the toddlers could not
successfully carry out the mission and deliver what they needed
to deliver, they just burst out crying. Children are so beyond
and above adults in dutifulness that they recognize the
importance of carrying out a duty and seeing it through to the
very end. Instinctively. The toddler in question even demanded
to be given a second chance, and keep in mind, this was for
something as menial as picking up her father's watch from the
shop. Long story short, children and the childish at heart can
generally be trusted far more than adults for the battle ahead
of us
