    There needs to be a mandatory parenting training course if you’re expecting a child.

    Religion needs to be taken out of the government completely

      I agree with sentiment, but as stated that’s just eugenics with extra steps. By controlling the cost, availability and/or accessibility of the course, you control who can have children. Also how are you going to enforce this policy, forced abortions?

      Better imo to make childrearing a part of the school curriculum with a highly encouraged refresher course later on. That achieves the same end without risking peoples liberties.

      I like this in theory. But I know in practice some idiots will always manage to get their hands on the curriculum.

        Me too but it’d turn into eugenics so quickly.

        I was fucking baffled walking out of the hospital with my baby. No training, no proof of education, no tests. Walking out with the nurse in tow asking them "yeah are you sure i don’t need to like sign something?

      In the UK we almost have this in something called NCT (National Childbirth Tr. … ust).

      It’s not compulsory and most only do it for their first but you’re kinda so shit scared that most tend to do it.

      The knowledge is good but getting a close network of 5 other couples having a baby within a month of each other is invaluable…for the mums, the dad’s are shit at keeping in touch typically lol

      I sometimes tell my kids about things I was taught, and survival habits I picked up in the “dad qualification program”. I based the idea of the program on a brief description of air force officer survival training in the book The Hatchet, and a generous dose of imagination. The kids have never questioned it.

      I disagree about religion. It should be subordinated to the government. That should stop them from promoting reactionary rethoric. (Assuming the government is half decent in the first place. Otherwise there’s not much difference.)
