Chilling is right

Dr. Albert Mohler discussed a recent ruling in Canada, where a twelve year old girl sued her father because he grounded her from going on a school trip. Her infraction? Posting pictures of herself on a dating webpage. Leaving aside how obscene and incredibly dangerous that is, her father was at a minimum right to ground her. But the court sided on her side and forced her father to allow her to go, declaring this punishment "excessive".

I know I recommend Dr. Mohler's radio show a lot, but this is the one show you need to listen to and the one commentary you must read.

This is the mindset of the elitist establishment, that every child is a ward of the state and that for now the state tolerates children living in their parent's house. This wasn't a case of abuse, but a very mild discipline. Who knows what might have happened if he had taken harsher methods. Pay attention America. There are plenty of people in power in this country who want to see us go the same way, and pretty soon if we aren't careful we won't be able to even say "no" to a toddler without court sanction.
