But anyone who has a kid in public school knows that there are a ton of moron mouth breathing parents out there who smoke around their kids, leave the booze cabinet open, or keep a pistol under the pillow where the kid can get it. It happens. Those morons need a reminder not to do that. Im not talking about your or I. I'm talking about all those millions of dipsh*ts out there you don't associate with who have kids. Kids who go to school with your kid and might think it's cool to bring the 22 under the sofa cushion to school. Yes it is revolting that a parent would leave a gun within reach of a kid. They're horrible people who should be sterilized. But since we can't kick them all in the nutz until they get it, school will ask. They need someone to help pay their rent, they need someone to help feed and clothe them, and they need someone to tell them to keep their heater locked up. Just the times we live in.
There is no need to add the "but". In my opinion, the government, through whichever branch, arm, department or method cannot fix the bad brained people who are undoubtedly populating this country and procreating. Are there idiots who make the mistakes you point out above -YES - is it governments job to shepard all the idiots so they don't hurt themselves or create and environment that might - "might" harm thier children - HELL NO. I'm tired of the notion that "if we can save just one life, its worth it" - because it isn't worth it. Accidents happen and people do stupid things - highly regrettable when that spills over to children, but not much you can do about it without assigning a government worker to each household to make sure the kids are being raised "appropriately" - whatever that means. I don't want to pay for that "parental" supervision - but I am - I don't want anymore costs to save the idiots added to my tab. You can't fix stupid and you also can't shelter individually from the hazzards of life.
Those idiots send their idiot kids to the same school your kids go to. In a perfect world nothing would ever annoy you...
