With the constant destruction of the traditional family unit, came the destruction of family discipline and finally of family values and their responsibility. The STATE tells our kids what to eat, who to sleep with, what is good, what is bad. They will not let us spank our kids, will not let us discipline them in anyway. The State have given the kids all the power and stripped the parents of all of their power..... and the kids know it and are using it to their own advantage. Whereas families were once allowed to raise their children with their own family values, those values have now become the STATE's values and trump the family ones. The kids are now the responsibility of teachers and politicians if they are the ones that dictate to me how to raise my kids. Don't blame the parents .....blame the teachers, politicians and the STATE.
