Editor’s Note: This is exactly why people need to oppose such measures. First, these are your kids, not government’s. Second, the term “legal” is often used to cover up that which is unlawful in order to pass it by the masses as though it were lawful.

Supreme Court precedent has been clearly established and has held for decades that parents have both the duty and the right to direct the care, custody, and control of their minor children. This bill is in direct conflict with said Supreme Court precedent and contrary to the U.S. Constitution.
