"I think parents are accountable to God for their 'parenting' not the Government...IMHO"

Yea yea; a real dilemma, huh.

Kids recieve no upbringing & take that barbarianism to school; where the teacher(s) are supposed to *fix* it, eh?
Of course, the kid doesn't learn anything 'cuz they're too preoccupied being the kind of imbecile they've imprinted on from Dumb & Dumber.
So?
We lynch the teacher, eh?

Primarily because (according to you), "the *parents* should be left to the job" nevermind they're neglecting to do *any* of this, "parenting" & doing-so in overwhelmingly numbers?
Hell's Bells, Mr Osborne, that's a *form* of, "neglect." eh?
Yup; it's a classic chicken & egg kind of puzzle, eh?

"...maybe we should let God enforce His laws, and let the Government stick to its LEGITIMATE FUNCTION..."

Maybe we should.
But right off the bat?
That word, "should", will get'cha into an awful lot of trouble, son.
I mean; look what *its* done to an entire nation's generation of young adults, & the politicians they elect to represent 'em.

...why we should be behaving a lot saner than we are.

This is an excellent point, Landru. In fact, it is THE reason many new teachers decide to leave teaching, and THE reason many parents cite as why they shell out thousands of dollars to send their kid to a private school -- where barbarians are tossed out immediately.
