The Founders never thought they would have to point out that custody and care of children is the responsibility and the privilege of their parents, not the state.
The Founders would be shocked to see what has become of the government and the prevailing culture. Two quotes come to mind:
When once a Republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles; every other correction is either useless or a new evil.
Thomas Jefferson quoting Baron de Montesquieu
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
John Adams
