Because it was written by one of the most odious public figures of our time, Hillary Clinton, the impact and meaning of the child's book "It Takes a Village" is often associated with her. It is actually more abhorent that one realizes. Its cultural statement, combined with that Obama's campaign video "Life of Julia" construct a world in which the state, not parents, are the final authority on raising children. As Jeff eloquently notes, that is absolute rubbish. The state, nor its minions, were up at 4:00 at night giving my daughter her Pulmicort treatments nor where they around when my son got cut from the soccer team. Parents care about their children. Those working for the state care more about society. There is a key difference.
