If you are claiming that the current, minor government involvement in parenting is not right - well that's fine for you to have your opinion, but you need to provide much better reasons than simply "It is the parent's responsibility - not the governments" and leave it at that. That is not debate. Debate does not mean unbacked opinion fun hour with chancellor. Unless you have some reasoning, logic, substance, evidence or something to back up your opinion, we're not intererested in what you have to say. By continuing to debate in that manner, even after you are called on it - is an obvious slap in the face of the people at this site that are interested in serious, rational debate, and not the childlike dance around the issue that you've been doing.
The government's involvement is not minor and it is not right. Also, parental responsibility is just that: parental responsibility. It's not government responsibility, it's not societal responsibility, and it is reason enough to explain why the government needs to butt out.
