How Far is Too Far?

Have we honestly come to the place where we can not make it through a single day without the help of the government? Everywhere you look the government is taking over this or passing legislation against that. Well I say it has gone too far! The role of the government was lined out by our forefathers in the US Constitution. There is no reason the government should be telling us how to live every aspect of our daily lives. The Department of Education is now threatening school principals with lawsuits if they do not monitor students' lunchtime chats and even their daily Facebook posts. First they decide what the kids eat for lunch and now they decide what they talk about.  What is next, deciding what they wear, who their friends are, what sports they can and can't play? Don't get me wrong, I by no means approve of bullying or harassment, but monitoring children at school and even "Facebook stalking" them is not the way to do it. It is not the job of government to raise our nations children, it is the parent's responsibility. This is merely another government grab for power and tightening the reigns on freedom even further. Adolf Hitler once said, "He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future."  That is exactly what our government is trying to do. They are trying to groom our nations children into what they deem best. Take Wisconsin for example, the teachers are teaching the kids how to protest.  This is outrageous and needs to be stopped.
