Nope. They're more than happy to use the heck out of the Federal government if it's for something THEY want. They flip out about 'liberals' wanting bigger government but when the Republicans try to use it to further their causes it's for the 'good of the people'. Right

Well of course what you present is in no way related to your thread title. What the law states is that the state education against child abuse should include the fact that single parent households are at greater risk for child abuse. We can't let political correctness interfere with facts.

I saw "contributing factor", not "classify" regarding this topic.

Where did it classify single parenthood as abuse ?

*edit: I see shorebaby beat me to it.

It didn't. The OP read it somewhere and then just posted it.
