Summary

"The Politics of Parenting examines the relationship between children, their parents, and the state by asking three questions: Who should be allowed to procreate? Who should be allowed to raise children? and, To what extent should the government regulate parental behavior?" "The Politics of Parenting completes the task begun in Irvine's Doing Right by Children, in which he examined the moral obligations of parenthood and argued that parents should not act as owners of their children, but as stewards who care for their children's best interests. In this volume, he considers the extent to which the government should force parents to do right by their children."--Jacket
