Too Much Control

[Via Nealenews]

It really bugs me out when I see our government trying to exert more and more control over our daily lives.

The latest example of this is that the B.C. Education Ministry have orders home schooling parents to stop using faith based materials.

Why would the ministry do this for any other reason in that they could? What relevance is it what material is used by a stay at home parent? The point of an education is to teach the child and provide for them a future in the working world. I would extend this responsibility to the education boards across this country as well. But it most definitely is not the responsibility of our education boards to dicate what is taught in our homes.

Canada has a serious problem with it's government, professional institutions, and social agencies, trying to dictate to everyday Canadians what they are allowed to believe, profess, or teach to their children.

Fasicm... not yet. But the base instinct to control others is the same.
