Walker, Obamacare Ranger
August 12th, 2009
Unlike our lawmakers, Chuck Norris (yes, that Chuck Norris) has actually read the proposed healthcare reform bill and found some interesting provisions on page 838 regarding childcare education.
The bill says that the government agents, "well-trained and competent staff," would "provide parents with knowledge of age-appropriate child development in cognitive, language, social, emotional, and motor domains … modeling, consulting, and coaching on parenting practices," and "skills to interact with their child to enhance age-appropriate development."
Are you kidding me?! With whose parental principles and values? Their own? Certain experts’? From what field and theory of childhood development? As if there are one-size-fits-all parenting techniques! Do we really believe they would contextualize and personalize every form of parenting in their education, or would they merely universally indoctrinate with their own?
Are we to assume the state’s mediators would understand every parent’s social or religious core values on parenting? Or would they teach some secular-progressive and religiously neutered version of parental values and wisdom? And if they were to consult and coach those who expect babies, would they ever decide circumstances to be not beneficial for the children and encourage abortions?
The government says it would be voluntary and is primarily targeted at low income families.
Are we further to conclude by those words that low-income families know less about parenting? Are middle- and upper-class parents really better parents? Less neglectful of their children? Less needful of parental help and training? Is this "prioritized" training not a biased, discriminatory and even prejudicial stereotype and generalization that has no place in federal government, law or practice?
Do kids belong to their parents or the government? Who is better equipped to decide how they should be raised?
Children belong to their parents, not the government. And the parents ought to have the right — and government support — to parent them without the fed’s mandates, education or intervention in our homes.
The real motive for these provisions is the ability to indoctrinate children and have them raised in a manner that predisposes them to the politics of the Left. As Abraham Lincoln said, “The philosophy of the classroom today will be the philosophy of government tomorrow.”
Why do you think there’s such a big push to keep any mention of Christianity out of schools? The Left is trying to win elections in the future and frankly, they’re doing a pretty good job so far. This provision in the healthcare reform package is one more step along that road.
