Whose Children Are They?

Posted on | February 4, 2014 | 42 Comments

Tell you what: How about me and Harvard University Professor Paul Reville go on one of those tacky tabloid TV talk shows where they DNA test children? I’ll bet $100 — no, make it $1 million — that Professor Paul Reville is not the father of any of my children, no matter what he has been telling his liberal buddies:

Paul Reville, the former secretary of education for Massachusetts, recently said “the children belong to all of us” at a panel discussion at the Center for American Progress when discussing those who oppose Common Core.
“To be sure, there’s always a small voice — and I think these voices get amplified in the midst of these arguments — of people who were never in favor of standards in the first place and never wanted to have any kind of testing or accountability and those voices get amplified,” Reville said, according to CNS News.
Reville’s language is reminiscent of MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry in April of last year, when she said, “We have to break through that private idea that kids belong to their parents . . . kids belong to whole communities.”

Leave my children out of your plans. Damned liberal weirdos abort all their babies and then think they can tell us how to raise our kids.

[…] Or as Darleen Click dryly notes: “If you like your children, you can keep your children…” TOM is also weirded out by this too. […]

Parochial schools and home schooling are the last defense to the mediocre “education” and indoctrination provided by the public educational system. Every home schooled kid or kid educated in Catholic or Lutheran schools who gets a 32 on his/her ACT at a substantially lower per pupil cost demonstrates conclusively that public education is a lie. It exists to provide sinecures for people who otherwise would be generally unemployable. (Yes, yes. I know there are exceptions.) The elites have destroyed the quality of the public system and now wish to herd everyone else’s children into it, in order to protect their position. Reynolds talks about “Irish Democracy” with respect to Obama Care. A better start would be the public school system. Just don’t play.

How much do you want to wager that he’s not the father of his own children?

“Belong.” Slaves belong to someone. Indentured servants belong to someone. In many slave-owning and indenture-approving cultures, the slaves/servants are held in common. In Sparta, it was a right of passage for a young man to murder a slave.
Reville said ‘belong’ purposefully, because he contrasted it by saying the idea that a child belongs to his/her parents is a ‘private’ idea. Reville wants nothing held in private, all held by the masses.
Another Stalinist self-identifies. How many people would he murder if he given the executioner’s pistol and all the ammo he wants.

Having aborted their own, the left seeks to forcibly tell others how children ought to be raised.

In the end the only test that matters is survival. Give Mr. Reville any sword he wants, I’ll use mine let’s see who survives.

In their war against Western civilization, today’s liberals use three main attack vectors:-Attacking the family-Attacking private property-Attacking Christianity

It’s not a bad strategy to get them all smoked out.

Identifying them and isolating them is a critical operation.

They cannot have my babies. I saw first hand how destructive common core is to little kids. The Resisters are a homeschool family now.

The details of Common Core are worthy of criticism and ridicule, but that misses the point. Like NCLB, Common Core and other “reforms” of the public school system are mere diversions from the real problem. They cannot possibly do more than Cover Girl make-up applied to smallpox eruptions do to cure that disease, which is nothing.

The only “reform” worth discussing is getting the government out of the school business. If the public wishes to keep funding public education, that’s fine, but it should be done with market forces, privately, keeping the government out of any actual building, running, or designing curricula or behavior rules for the schools.

Oh, they want liberty for themselves. It’s the rest of us, the proles, counterrevolutionaries, kulaks and badthinking wreckers who can’t be trusted with freedom. We might make the wrong decisions.

Yeah, but the “liberty” they want for themselves also comes with a generous state subsidy.

Well, liberalism is a religion. A primitive counter-Christian religion along the same lines as its marxist, socialist, and communist precursors.

It’s important that we understand this as a religious war.

These idiots don’t understand natural law, and how it applies to “Who belongs to whom.”

Outside of the squirrel cage of tenured leftist faculty, every man with children will tell you the same exact thing as written below:

You can claim anything you want, but if you try to get between me and my kids, your carcass is mine.

I love the phrasing: “Liberals abort their babies and then tell us how to raise ours”. Only a liberal would not see the contradiction.

[…] The decision to homeschool was not one we made lightly, but at this time we feel it is what is in the best interest of our children, not only for their educational needs but also because I think more family time together will be good for us all after all we’ve been through in the past year. Of course I have been criticized for the decision my husband and I made, but my children do not belong to my critics, or to anybody else for that matter. […]
