Parents need to parent not give their parenting to the government?
Why right:
27 points
Why wrong:
13 points
Verdict:
Yes
Summary
Parents should indeed parent their children rather than give this role to the government. Strong families build strong societies, while excessive state intrusion weakens personal responsibility and moral diversity.
Recommendation
Parents must retain primary responsibility for child upbringing. Delegating parenting duties to the state undermines family integrity and independence. Government should only act as a safety net, not as a substitute.
