It sounds not only tyrannical but horrifying.
you are responding to a joke made in humor
but seriously...
Why is it so important to keep to the failed status quo and not move ahead with education programs which can teach people parenting skills?
Instead, we get the doom and gloom spectre looming over us all that this is Big Brother going to sterilize everyone.
The standards for cutting hair in most states are far stronger than the creation and care of another human being for the next two decades. It might be nice if we educated folks about these responsibilities instead of pretending that some magical knowledge kicks in making everyone a good and loving parent. Millions of abused children each year prove otherwise.
Again, the current standards are the extreme of the continuum. Forced government control is at the opposite end. There is a whole lot of ground in the sensible middle which rational people of an open mind can discuss and explore.
