Either way I think over time it is a widely help principle that parents have responsibility and authority over children

Of Course. The only other option is the government owns all the kids. That's a HUGE no-no.

But I kinda like my test idea, too.
Got bad parents? Well, if you can't pass the civics test, then you can engage in contracts and you can't vote until 18.
Smart cookie with good role models? You can pass at 16, then.

But you're wrong about something. I don't want to repost the chart here, it's too big.

Age OF Consent chart

The age of consent is NOT 18 in most states. It's 16.

Shhh... Don't tell the fundies. They'll be after the heteros next...

A test for parents, hummmmmmmm!

Going to COSTCO for fourth of July provisions. Gotta get there before someone finds out there's some homos working there and calls for a boycott.
