@JuliusGoat I was skimming an article once and my brain read PROPERTY rights instead of PARENTAL rights, and now I can never unsee it

@JuliusGoat As Gibran wrote, "Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself. They come through you, but not to you. And though they are with you yet they belong not to you."

@JuliusGoat Strongly feel this. It was shocking when I taught in public school, how few parents or teachers had the courage to say aloud that their purpose was to support students in learning to think for themselves. I hung a sign on my wall that said, "The purpose of your education is to enable you to live your life through your own informed choices." I told them that each day, if I showed up without that purpose, I was failing at my job. They deserved that respect.
