If the American people ever found out what we’ve done they would chase us down the street and lynch us —. didn’t some famous US politician have that quote attributed to him?

I believe it was Hilary. She said something like ‘we won’t be able to walk the streets’ and . . .’we’ll hang from nooses.’

Children Are Not Property The idea that underlies the right-wing campaign for “parents’ rights.” (BARF)

Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it,” the Book of Proverbs says. To certain right-wing Christians, the concept is simple: A child can be broken, or stamped into shape, much like any domesticated animal. Though all parents hope they’ll pass their values onto their children, for some that hope is more of a mandate. My own parents believe that Proverbs is the word of God, and they believed, too, that a righteous upbringing would produce an adult in their image. Who can blame them? The idea that a child should replicate her parents does not belong only to conservative Christianity or to religion at all. A proverb is common wisdom, and lately this one is hard to escape. Authoritarianism is gospel to modern conservatives. Nowhere is that clearer than in their assaults on children.
