If your children are actually not your children but belong to the community, then it only makes sense that the government should bear the primary responsibility for the education your children. The government, not you, has the right and therefore the authority to determine what your children think. [More]
Actually, I don't have that authority, either. I could control to an extent what I allowed into the home and where they could go and with whom while they were in my charge, and try to provide the best example of behaviors consistent with advocacies that I could. But ultimately, the world would get its crack at them and it would be up to them if they chose to wear the armor I provided as they followed their own quests.
The one thing I can say for sure is it's not the government's authority and any attempt to make it so is casus belli, which is why, in addition to armor, I introduced them to the sword.
