On the recordJuly 11, 1996
This is about Washington bureaucrats, it is about a faceless Washington bureaucrat making decisions for the relationships between parents and kids. Washington bureaucrats in their infinite wisdom have decided that school officials cannot give their child as aspirin, but can provide condoms without parental consent. It assumes that a Washington bureaucrat is better able to teach your child sex education than the child's parents. The myth is that Washington cares more about the well-being of a child than his or his parents. President Clinton actually said it best: Governments do not raise children, but parents do. Let us remove this faceless bureaucrat from being involved in these types of decisions, let us not encourage bureaucrats to counsel children to have a dialog with your parents, let us get the bureaucrat out and recognize we need to be working on establishing relationships between parents and children and it is best done there without a Washington bureaucrat in the middle.
