Who Will Parent the Parents?

Nobody asked but …

It seems that many are having a field day ganging up for or against Education for Rachel (if you don’t like facebook, try here).  This repeats a disturbing pattern that has reiterated since our colonial days, that we believe all are equal before the wheel of chance but we believe that some are more equal than others before our rulers.  Unfortunately for those who hold the deal, however, the deck is not really stacked against others in the real world.  As a matter of principle, I am all for voluntary action and dispute resolution that would hold parents and children responsible to one another for their choices.  At present we have an odd, toxic mix, in parenting and in being children, part anarchy all the way through to part government incarceration.  Are children persons or are they larvae?  What shall we do about it?
