Outsourced Parenting

I recently had a conversation that really got me thinking about how much parenting is being outsourced.  It's so sad.

 Schools are teaching most people's children about sex, and the parents are grateful.  They'll even show the boys how to put a condom on a cucumber if you want them to!  Don't believe me?  Here's the video for the sex education of Montgomery County Public Schools.  This was obtained only via the public information act.  Most of the parents hadn't seen it.  Sad...

 Schools teach all educational requirements.  After all, they MUST pass the educational Olympics test.  And parents are grateful. 

 Schools are now responsible for making sure other people's children don't get fat.  Don't believe me again?  Check here:

 And, of course, the parents are grateful.  At no point does it cross one's minds that if your own child is overweight, that perhaps you, the parent, should pack them a lunch that you, the parent, have assured is low in fat and high in nutrition? Or perhaps make a healthy breakfast before they head off to school?  Based on current obesity stats, I think we can safely assume not.  Again, it's sad. 

 Parents even trust someone else to tell them what their children can safely watch.  It's PG/G then many parents will simply trust "them" to tell them so.  What happened to making sure that your child is watching something that YOU think is appropriate?  That works with YOUR values?   Have you watched a PG-13 movie, lately?  If you have my values, you'll think twice before letting ANYONE watch them, much less a 13 year old child.  If not, then you must not care if your child hear's males calling females "b*tches", or referring to one another as "p*ssies".  I do.  Class and manners are free, all of us should have some.   I think our world would be a much better place if young people were taught respect, and kindness, instead of being "cool".  Cool wears off about the age of 18-20 and then kids, who are now adults, are just disrespectful idiots, and everyone acts like they can't understand how that happened.  Seriously?

 Schools now provide abortions for free to 15 year old girls, as long as the parents are not told.  Again, don't believe me?  Check here (and YES, it's common in many publicly funded schools):

 Buildings of institutionalized learning are filled with state certified strangers telling other people's children how to live, what to believe, and what is acceptable and parents are grateful.  I will simply NEVER understand this concept.  If you think that you retain your parental rights when you turn your child over to the State, think again and get yourselves informed!!!!  This link is really surprising. I actually looked up lots of material about his guy, and he genuinely didn't do anything wrong. In his state, it's a law that the schools must honor his request.  His governor at the time was Mitt Romney, who gave a public broadcast about this and demanded that the schools honor the law.  They didn't.  Feel free to look it up. (I can only fit so many links, right?!)

 And the "czar" that Obama appointed has stated his intentions CLEARLY:

 http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/archive/ldn/2009/sep/09092409

 Currently, the czar is implementing gay curriculum under the guise of  "safety" in schools.  He says that by encouraging very young students to "accept" the gay lifestyle that they will no longer bully homosexuals.  Right, because we all know that ONLY gay people are picked on in school.  Please!  This is nothing more than an attempt by a gay man to force his views on  kids who shouldn't even be thinking about sexuality!  Kindergarteners and elementary age students shouldn't be thinking about sexuality, much less being exposed to a side of it that many experts have said could lead to children believing they "may" be gay, but realizing later that they are not. Almost experts agree that a person's sexuality does not become a prominent part of their make-up until the teenage years.   But, hey...I'll just bet that many parents are grateful they didn't have to deal with it.

 Outsourcing our parenting is KILLING us, people.  Values, morals, family ties and bonds are disappearing faster than a snowball in Jamaica and no one really seems to care.  In fact, they mostly seem...well, grateful.  Children are not meant to be raised by the State, but by their parents.  When did parents turn their parental duties over to strangers?  It was not always this way, and our world was better for it.

Hmmmm....I suppose you could look at it that way. Or you could actually watch the movie before your child watches it to make sure that someone else's view of "appropriate" is the same as yours. Again, if you don't mind having someone else monitor those things for your child and you, then so be it. It's outsourced parenting.

And the article wasn't about whether 15 year old kids should or shouldn't be getting abortions. It was about the schools not even bothering to inform the parents of it. Since the parents are the ones who would pay if there were later medical complications, and also have to be there for their daughter if she later has emotional issues, which many women who've chosen abortion suffer from, then I think the State should most certainly informed them that their daughter was having one, not intentionally warn the daughter to not tell her own parents. Again, sticking the kid in a cab, and giving her a voucher to rid herself of the pregnancy isn't all that is involved and they will certainly demand that a parent upkeep that child, but they are somehow not to be informed if she's having a medical procedure? Surely the convoluted reasoning isn't lost on you.

Children do not masturbate. They are incapable of orgasm(or ejaculation if you prefer) before puberty, and therefore cannot be masturbating in the sense that you use the word. Do they sometimes touch themselves because the sensation is "tingly"? Sure. That is not masturbation. If you'd like to provide more evidence to the contrary, please do so. Otherwise, you simply have an opinion which is wrong.

And you're again incorrect about experts saying that young children's sexuality develops before the teen years. That is why puberty is so relevant. The hormones that create sexuality itself do not make an appearance until then. Do some young people exihibit feminine or masculine tendancies before then? Sure, but that's not sexuality. There is a distinct difference. You'll need to research more before you make statements if you are to be credible. I'm pretty sure I provided more than enough links to my position.

And lastly, most people are grateful for this because they don't parent their children. They want someone else to do the hard stuff for them. That mostly seems to be a monumental failure based on current statistics with graduation rates, illiteracy numbers, employment numbers, etc...

Not to mention the current economic crisis. All of you "21st" century criers who have given up your parental control to the State, seem to be forgetting that it's the State that is educating most people. They have depended upon the State to make sure they are not duped and also well educated. However, economics 101 must be left out of institutionlized learning as they focus on all the parental issues that most are gratefully giving away. Unfortunately, not only were they "duped", but they have no idea how the hell it even happened. Surely, you are capable of putting the pieces of that particular puzzle together.

You're just straight-up wrong about how "almost experts agree that a person's sexuality does not become a prominent part of their make-up until the teenage years," unless you consider yourself the only expert. It's well documented that children, even toddlers, masturbate. It is very often evident in children that they have a preference for the same sex. Also, putting aside sexual preference, many children exhibit non-traditional gendered behaviour that they are bullied for in school.

Maybe people seem "grateful" for all of this because they've moved on to the 21st century and they don't really think it's a problem.

I guess, if if this is indeed happening, it doesn't really make me sad. I think it's great if 15 year old American girls are getting access to free abortions. Here in Canada, abortions are free for anyone, for any reason, under Medicare. They should be. They should also be teaching children not to bully people just because of their sexual orientation, if parents are unwilling to do so.

I suppose, if you don't like what public schools are offering, you should homeschool your children, which I assume you are doing based on your username.

I have never heard anyone criticize the rating system of movies. It doesn't "tell you what your children can safely watch." If anything it just gives YOU more autonomy because you are made aware ahead of time what kind of content will be in the movie.
