Remember when Hillary Clinton's book, "It Takes A Village" caused a stir among Republicans because she suggested that the government had a role to play in raising children?
And now, it turns out Republicans - with only the vaguest notions of "harm" as their basis - are attempting to do just what Hillary suggested. To take the reins of parenthood away from parents and substitute them with the state.
As a parent, I don't want the state parenting my children, because if Republicans have told us anything - and we believe them - the government can't do anything right. That's why we don't have universal healthcare or a social safety net. Now, the folks who have incessantly told us they can't fix social security now tell us we can trust them to raise our children.
I understand if you don't want your child on social media - and that's a decision you as a parent should make. But I shouldn't have to expose myself to a risk of identity theft so my child can use social media with my supervision. No (competent) parent has ever needed the state's help to keep their children off social media, and passing a law which will require public tax dollars to enforce and monitor is just ludicrous. The party of "small government" has completely lost the plot in Florida. Nobody asked for this - not conservatives, who believe in smaller government, not progressives, who don't believe in Republican anything, and not even Trump voters, who will believe anything except that government censorship is a good idea.
