The worm turns Canada keeps families in charge
As I predicted, The High Court in Canada did not overturn parents liberty
interests in the education of their minor children. People on this NG would criminalize all parents, and prefer that they were the ultimate arbiters of education in the family.

Live with it. Not hard to do, since the court defined acceptable force that can be used on children so narrowly as to all but ban it altogether. Not the best result that could be hoped for, but close. == Give parents better ==alternatives As you are quite aware, effective alternatives have been known for centuries. == and spanking will wither on its own. Unfortunately, some parents will always want to to hit their children, because the parents are stupid, incompetent, hide-bound, religious wackos, sadists, punishment-obsessed authoritarians or a combination of the above. What the Supreme Court has done is to tell these folks that if they assault their kids with anything more than the merest tap ("transitory and trifling"!), they can go to jail. So, yeah, that's a result I can live with. How about you? Do you welcome the court's ruling that children under the age of two and teenagers may not be hit; that no implements of any kind may be used; that blows on the head and face are unlawful; that any force employed must be limited to what a court would regard as "transitory and trifling"? == Parents know their ==kids more than you or any "expert"! I take it then that your parents knew that their treatment of you would turn you into a spanking-obsessed, porn-addicted, one-track-minded ****** who would dedicate his life to defending the practice of beating on children. If so, kudos to them. They succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. -- The danger to the life and well-being of children increases in direct proportion to their proximity to religion and its believers. -Ivan Gowch |
