      They view children as property. So teaching their “property” things like “rights” and “tolerance” is just like… installing Linux on their PCs. It makes it completely unusable to them, especially because they don’t like learning.

        I always like to bring up that the Republican Party of Texas, I think in 2012, made it an explicit part of their platform to oppose teaching critical thinking because it undermines parental authority.

      There is no such thing as parental rights.

      There are only parental responsibilities.

      Those who think they have rights over other human beings(including children) are akin to slave owners.
