      The right of moralistic jack off parents to force their close minded views on everyone else’s children.

        Our country is a community. To some capacity, every single one of us gives up a level of freedom to be a part of that community and help it prosper.

        Positioning and simplifying “parental rights” as “what I say vs what the government says” is exactly the problem. It’s not about you versus the government. If this was actually a matter of parental rights, and not another thinly veiled “fuck Trudeau”, alt-right, anti-human rights conspiracy, this would be about your freedom to instill values that are important to you, your family and your community in your children first abd foremost, even when “simplified”. Being decidedly anti-government would be so far down the list that it should never make the short-hand version.

        You do not have a right to teach your children to hate others, and fear expressing themselves, and fuck you for ever suggesting you should.

          Well, lets say the government says genociding the native population is okay, like Canada used to. Parental rights would allow you to homeschool your kids.

                Well, what are you trying to say? We all know what the definition of parental rights would be in a vacuum, I think the point of contention here is what could possibly be missing in actual Canadian society.

                  Well then ask that then. I swear you fucks can’t speak English properly.

                  For the answer you wanted but failed to ask for the first time is the government is keeping secrets from parents, and normalizing it. The parents have a right to know what the government knows about their kids. (Extreme circumustances notwithstanding, Im not getting into pedantics)

                    Legally, no they don’t. I guess you’re right, that’s a right parents don’t have right now.

                    And if you think they should have a right to information that would lead to abuse, to the point of forcing it out of individual teachers, you clearly don’t care about those children very much.

                    No one “failed to ask”. You’ve been asked multiple times, but refused to answer.

                    You still haven’t answered. What “secrets”?

                    If a child is more comfortable telling the government shit than you, that’s your own failing as a parent. You should make your children comfortable to tell you things.

            You’re already allowed to homeschool your kids in Canada, but in your case it would probably disadvantage them.

            And honestly that is a fucking dogwhistle of a reason if I ever saw one.

            Anything else easily disproven?

              He provided a relatable example, not something that is in contention. There was nothing to disprove.

              Why do you find reading to be so hard?
