I'm strongly in favor of getting the feds out of just about everything, including legislating CS standards. One of my main beefs with most FR groups is their seemed desire to federalize things even more. They want to promote joint placement, so they attack it on the federal level, meaning they give the federal legislators reason to stick their noses where they don't belong.

Fine. Let it all be fought out in state legislatures!

I think you should watch very carefully to see how much promotion of federalism there is in the program called the Fatherhood Initiative. The Fatherhood Initiative is not part of the FR movement and is not an FR group, although I have read several newspaper articles that have misrepresented them as such.

I've met with people in the federal government and I can tell you with 100 percent certainty that they want to stick their noses in even further. People I met with encouraged a battle between women/feminists and men/FR groups and encouraged pursuit of federal entitlements for men in response to federal entitlements for women.

Real-life FR groups from what I've seen are not in favor of increased federal noses, so the two parties created the Fatherhood Initiative is a counterfeit organization to fake representation of fathers' interests. They are way heavily into expansion of federalism and sticking the government's nose right up everybody's ....

The thing real people say about the Fatherhood Initiative is that they have this really weird way of expressing support for fatherhood by being extremely anti-father.
