Neither parents nor the state can justly attempt to imprint indelibly upon a child a set of values and beliefs, as if it were an inheritance one should never be able to question, as if the child must always defer and be obedient. To do so would in effect render the child servile.

Bottom line: destroy the family unit.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. "Honor your father and mother" --which is the first commandment with a promise -- "that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth."
- St Paul, Letter to the Ephesians 6:1-3

That's the portion of the article that really upset me, too. Render the child servile? Does this guy think that just because he says it, it must be true?
