Universal Child Care Omits Parents' Rights

Universal Child Care Means Ending Parents' Rights
January 16, 2008 by Phyllis Schlafly
 
    When Hillary Clinton showed television viewers the Christmas presents she wants to give us if she is elected, her most important was Universal Pre-K, following closely after Universal Health Care. Hillary was reminding us of her status as the grand dame of the ideology expressed in her favorite African slogan, "It takes a village to raise a child."
 
    Indeed, there seem to be many busybodies who believe the village, i.e., government functionaries, should make major decisions about the upbringing of children, including what they are taught and how they are medicated. They may approach this incrementally, but their goal is always "universal."
 
    We thought it was outrageous when the Ninth Circuit proclaimed in the Palmdale case in 2005 that the fundamental right of parents over the upbringing of their children "does not extend beyond the threshold of the school door." Now the Hillary-style liberals are also acting as though parents' rights over their own children do not extend beyond the threshold of the local health clinic.
 
    Massachusetts has just started to require that all children in Medicaid (460,000 kids) must be subjected annually to mental health screening in order to detect signs of possible mental illness, autism, or depression. One of the criteria on the questionnaire used to identify mental health problems is that the child is "seeming to have less fun."

American Civil Rights Union

There is an alternative to the ACLU:  The American Civil Rights Union.  The ACRU seems to believe that commiserating with criminals and foul-mouthed (alleged) "artists" -- among other usual suspects -- is just plain stupid.

Take a look, at:

http://www.theacru.org/acru/mission_statement/

Here's an abbreviated Mission Statement:

Civil rights are the fundamental liberties that all Americans should enjoy as a matter of basic morality, as well as Constitutional protection. Several organizations exist to protect one aspect or another of our civil rights and liberties. But the American Civil Rights Union (ACRU) is dedicated to protecting our fundamental rights and liberties across the board.

The ACRU focuses, in particular, on those areas of our civil rights which are ignored, or even actively undermined, by other supposed civil liberties groups. These include the following (see details at WebSite):


Property Rights
Freedom of Religion
Equality Under the Law
Right to Keep and Bear Arms
Individual Liberty and Federalism
