    Our country is a community. To some capacity, every single one of us gives up a level of freedom to be a part of that community and help it prosper.

    Positioning and simplifying “parental rights” as “what I say vs what the government says” is exactly the problem. It’s not about you versus the government. If this was actually a matter of parental rights, and not another thinly veiled “fuck Trudeau”, alt-right, anti-human rights conspiracy, this would be about your freedom to instill values that are important to you, your family and your community in your children first abd foremost, even when “simplified”. Being decidedly anti-government would be so far down the list that it should never make the short-hand version.

    You do not have a right to teach your children to hate others, and fear expressing themselves, and fuck you for ever suggesting you should.
