Government Overreach
 

The website link in question should never be used as a resource for our children. It is irresponsible and morally offensive of our education system to offer it up to minors.

The  family is the nucleus of society. The government should never undermine the family by encouraging minor children to seek guidance elsewhere without the knowledge of their parents.  Education systems should provide general health guidance (nutrition, hygiene, exercise) that reaffirms what is taught at home. The more that the education system assumes the role of the family, the more the family will come to expect and depend on a nanny state. This mind set not only undermines the role of parents but also our democratic republic.
