Re: The great irony for parental control advocates

The great majority of parents are completely down with the requirements of the state with its insistance that kids do not engage in sexual activity until they reach the artificial age of majority,

The great majority of parents have no idea of their children's sex lives.

or that kids go to school rather than work before reaching that age of majority.

The whole idea that the state should pay for education disproves this. If parents really agreed, they would foot the bill without protesting - after all, they buy their kids videogames and expensive clothes, don't they? They obviously disagree, so they retort to the state: "fine, have them in school, but at your own expense, not mine".
