Parenting License
Once again I am bored, and thus, I am starting a new semi-controversal thread.
What do you think of this: Parenting would no longer be a fundamental right, but rather a privilege. In order to raise children, the parent(s) must prove themselves to be worthy of being able to raise their kids right. Have a test or whatnot to prove that the proto-parents have the skills, stability, and morality needed to be good parents.
I'd think that, if done properly, it would help society a lot. What do you think?

Awfully bad idea. There's already a "child care" institution (don't know how you call it in English) that should evaluate parents' ability to raise their children in case of doubt, and act if parents are not able to raise their children. Even if there are problems, those institutions are more likely not to act in minor cases because the alternative - asylum - is nothing better. The system is not perfect, but no system is.
I never said anything akin to faith based institutions, (On the contrary, I believe that religion should be a choice that the child makes, rather than imposed on them through sunday school/etc.) and I don't mean morality akin to a Good Christian American (tm). Still, I can see where you object to this.
