Today I Learned
What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

It would lose an election for any politician saying it, but sometimes the child's rights supersede a parents right to do whatever they want with their kids.
You shouldn't be able to do things like refuse to feed your child, refuse to give your child medical care, or refuse to educate your child.
Children have no rights :(
No. a presidential candidate should absolutely run on that. Child abuse charges for the parents for failure to seek medical help
It gets a little trickier when you start talking about things like teaching evolution and sex ed, or not allowing minors to be indoctrinated by religions.

Want to really see the fur fly? Try banning genital mutilation. There is no defensible logic for chopping up a baby's genitals even if your god told you to do so. That's some barbaric, bronze age shit that should in no way be legal in any nation that wants to call itself "civilized". It's as logical as slicing a baby's eyelids off at birth. Without anesthesia, I might add.
They'd lose if it were a local position within Idaho. Those same people who didn't wear masks, refuse to vaccinate, refuses care for their child? All those same people are the same people VOTING.
It would be different if it weren't an election in the most brain dead state.
Yeah, it's impressive to find a new low BELOW Florida. At least Florida knows how to pull in tourists. Who the fuck wants to willingly go to Idaho???
You don't run on it you just enforce at a federal level. Republicans love state rights until they're in power then they love telling states what they can and can't do.
Democrats need to force this down their fng throat
Can confirm spent a yr living there, hated every second would take death before even driving through it
It’s pedantic but children have no agency, what is being done in Idaho is being done to children.
I would argue children have limited agency depending on their level of development. For example, child custody courts take the wishes of the child into consideration when determining custody of the child is old enough to express their preferences.
If this treatment is legal in Idaho then they do not have agency.
