Parental Rights, and Wrongs

Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich), along with 70 Republican co-sponsors, has introduced in Congress an amendment to the US Constitution to enshrine “Parental Rights”. These rights include the right of parents to beat their children and the right of parents to choose the religion of their children. They are worried that these rights might be taken away from parents, and want to put them into the constitution.

Sigh.
