While I am quite the supporter of parental rights, there need to be some reasonable limits.

Gosh, we've got one poster advocating removing children from parents who are not Judeo-Christian. Now, we've got another advocating "reasonable" limits on parental authority.

Here is a manifestly reasonable limit. When 50% of the people in the United States disagree with a certain position, maybe you ought to refrain from discussing it with their children.

"When 50% of the people in the United States disagree with a certain position, maybe you ought to refrain from discussing it with their children."

First, it wasn't a position, but an immutable truth that is not in dispute. Embryonic cells have never provided any cures, or even hope for cures; they cause fast growing cancers in most cases.

Second, close to 68% of the American public voices opposition to use of embryos in any research. You are pulling a Dan Rather here.

Third, when you send your children to government schools, you have relinquished all control over what they hear and what they are taught. In many states you have even relinquished control over their medical treatment. No responsible parent sends their children to government schools at this point in time.

Really? I confess I haven't taken the time to read all the posts. Who is saying this?

Did you read this before you posted it? Talk about respecting our freedom of speech!
