Other than NAMBLA and a few radical leftists there is no such movement.

Maybe a few million leftwing teachers as well. Popular culture presses this time and time again, portraying parents as dumb, simple, while children "know everything".....

Children can go get an abortion without telling Mom or Dad.....because activist left wing judges essentially believe that a child's whims supercede parental rights. In spite of all of these examples, you'll still insist that their is no concerted effort underway.

The question I asked was to Nathaniel Fisher...

He said "If there's a legitimate reason for a teen to be out late...."

His comment stated that he felt if they had a legitimate reason to be out.....so I asked what "he" felt were legitimate reasons to be out. I have a legitimate question which I don't think you can answer since you're not him.

In Texas, the supreme court ruled this way because the law was vague and had a loophole. Its up to the legislature to pass laws that aren't vague and are constitutional. If those laws are unconstitutional then that state's constitution should be amended.

By the way, you may want to try something other than the "Simpsons" as an authority on Constitutional law. It all makes sense now.

Yeah, sure.

By the way welcome to Free Republic. It's much better than Democrat Underground, don't you think?

[L98Fiero]

Yeah, that means it must be true.

No, actually it means that our grandparents had similar opinions about the matter, which I share.

Thanks for playing "Jerk of the Day". You might not win but you made a good showing.

[He Rides A White Horse]

Sort of like, Roe vs. Wade, right?

[JeffAtlanta]

Yeah, sure.

Have you been keeping up? This has been discussed many time over the last week.

Knowing Freepers like I do, I doubt yours is the consensus that was reached.

[He Rides A White Horse]

So how are things at the DUmp lately. Mixing up the Kool-Aid I suppose.

Actually it was at least 50-50. Would you like me to link the two threads so that you can see for yourself.

By the way, not all conservatives or republicans are old fogies. Unfortunately that is the general perception which is sad.

[JeffAtlanta]

Yeah, with your insightful posts, slandering anyone that disagrees would probably be the course of action to take.

I don't know what version of the Bill of Rights you have, but mine doesn't come with a disclaimer that says "does not apply to those under 18 years of age".

It's pretty well known that your rights aren't fully realized when you're a minor. For example, the right to vote is applicable only to those over 18; the right to keep and bear arms is similarly controlled.

A youth curfew is a great thing. I do wonder about the punishment of business owners who don't enforce the law for them though

What do you think about government control over home schooling? Not trying to be argumentative but just trying to better reconcile the issues here.

[gdani]

Spoken like a true liberal. I wonder which category you fit into.

That's a great tactic. When your argument fails, turn to personal attacks.

Looks like you're the one familiar with the liberal mindset. In case you're unaware, this is a forum dedicated to conservatism. You know - the ideology that belives in LESS government?

[gdani]

The school is infringing on the rights of a parent in that case. See how that works?

Nice try. But the right of a minor to worship as they see fit is their right, and their right alone.

Well, unless you can find me a single federal court decision that says otherwise.

[TChris]

What do you think about government control over home schooling?

The extent of governmental control over education should be providing one at taxpayer expense if, and only if it's not being adequately provided by the parents. Testing to ensure a complete education is the most the govt. should ever get involved.

Once they NEA is able to declare that failing to teach homosexuality and the theory of macroevolution constitutes inadequate education, then we'll have to start firing some public officials for sure.

With curfews, the wishes of the parents are being overriden as well.
