It Takes a Village?
This came to my attention yesterday. It was penned by the lawmaker who wrote the law that removes a child's right to a free public education if they don't take every vaccine the government eventually decides the kid needs (signed by the gubnor). I wanted to share this here to get your opinion on the language. Does this seem like an appropriate role for "the village" or does this give you the creeps?
I got as far as far as the seven bullet points of Section 1 Part A, and understood. The only word in those seven items that isn't 100% subjective is "safe".
The 100% subjective terms:
(1) best interest
(2) healthy attachments with adults
(3) healthy environment
(4) social and emotional well-being
(5) optimal cognitive, physical, and social development
(6) appropriate, quality education
(7) appropriate, quality health care
Ask 50 people about each of those terms, and you'll probably get 10 or 15 or 20 different definitions for every one of them.
Perfect leftist document, where the government gets to decide for us since they know better.
"health" and "well-being"? The parents? Oh, no,
perish the thought! The Almighty State, through
its bureaucracies!!
Are the people of California such irrational idiots as to let this thing pass?! (I'm afraid so.
I hope not, but who can say what will happen
there?--I'm just glad I live in Virginia, and not
there.--But who can tell how far it will creep?)
This is purely a power play and should be rejected and the propositioners smacked down in the most obvious and public manner.
Can California please become a separate country? Enough, already with the laws, regulations, and such. Must they lay out every moment in the life of a child?
My question is this - Senator Pan - is the first name "Peter" or "Bed"? (Perhaps "Frying"???)\
Just so you know (and I've seen many, MANY Senate and Assembly bills from out here in the PDRK) aI have seen a LOT of bills that start out sounding innocuous (or even inane) and being amended 99+% to something absolutely different - one started out as a bill to regulate Waste Discharges of Chicken "byproducts" within 150 feet of certain types of geographic formations, and was amended in committee to prohibit the restriction against adding "at will" employees (classified to have "open" salaries) appointed by certain lawmaker committees, and including a nice bonus addition to said committee members.
All perfectly legal under our fine liberal people's free state's rules to do this.
Hmmmm. Now if it could also rebate the "school" taxation to the parents it would be a good start.
(I did not read the legislation, Abaco, just reacted to your comments;^)
If one believes in states rights, this bill is a declaration of open borders and more social engineering for the state of California.
First they say, "We're doing this for you." Then, you say, "No thanks." Then they say, "Do this. It's for the greater good. Don't you care about the herd?" And, again you say, "No thanks. I'll take my chances." Then, they threaten you with what's most valuable to you, hold a gun to your head and say, "You're going to do this now."
I left that looney bin 36 years ago . Now I wish they would secede.
Or should I spell that Kalifornia to imply rule by fascist control freaks?
Is OK, Tovarich... People's Revolutionary State Re-Education Enforcers, er, "education specialists" will be by tonight after midnight to give you free "re-education" in correct and proper thought. Sleep well, Comrade... heh heh heh...
Political prisoners were made to constantly stare at a closed peep flap in their cell door.
If the guard pulled it open and the prisoner was not staring straight at it, the guard came in with some help to beat the prisoner up.
Now all in a sudden me Comrade Dino thinks of the Hotel California song.

But I have been told I tend to be a little paranoid in my thinking. I just say to that;" Just because your paranoid doesn't mean they are not out to get you."
Good grief I didn't see that the child had a right granted by the state to breathe.Quick amend that bill.
I would add the child's right to flip off these kakistocrats
I have dedicated a decade of my life to studying vaccines. I have worked in two different health organizations, been involved in the premier autism research group in the world (happens to be located 10 miles from my home) as both a researcher and a subject (that was interesting), looked at the CDC's own data from their studies on vaccines, and spoken with many pediatricians on this (including at least one that everybody here has heard of). I no longer offer my opinion on vaccines. This is because my opinion was forged over all this time and effort. What I have found is that almost nobody knows anything about vaccines (both ingredients and "mandated" application programs). But, I will share this here, as I think it's appropriate. Forced vaccination violates Objectivism. Take a moment to think about why that may be. It actually takes some deep thought so pour yourself a glass of wine, sit on the porch and watch the sunset while mulling that over...
I didn't dig into the bill deep enough to know if it applies to home schooling. It's really shame if it does. CA is an anti-vaxer hotbed. Does their statism overpower their anti-vax tendencies?

Wow. That makes no sense. Then it really has nothing to do with school at all. That's just the fig leaf under which the gov't tries to make decisions for people's children.
My point is their applying it to kids who do not even physically go to a school shows it's not really about school.
I suspect most people who support this are motivated by child welfare, not a desire to destroy the parent/child bond. But they start with the underlying question "should people be allowed to do X?" It's up to citizens, according to this bad line of thinking, to demonstrate their choices are valid to be able to make them.
It would almost be an easier problem if there were one evil person twirling his mustache while planning to destroy the parent/child bond. It's not true. They want to take away the right to refuse a proven medical protection or eat Taco Bell and drink big gulps because I can't show those things are good ideas.
