Thank you for this. I think this ideology may partially explain why my state legislature killed a bill to modestly expand free school lunches. https://www.inforum.com/news/north-dakota/by-one-vote-north-dakota-senate-rejects-school-lunch-funding-for-low-income-kids

The ND Senate just killed a motion to reconsider. They had a second chance, and said, “Fuck those kids.”

Thank you for this series. I read your Ministry of Violence series when it came out and it was incredibly cathartic to see someone taking the issue of Christian corporal punishment seriously. No doubt that’s an unspoken part of the opposition to the CRC. The way this country treats children is abominable.

Yeah, the Parental Rights folks also object to the CRC because of its anti corporal punishment stance "even at home." Quelle surprise.
