D.C. City Council: Parents Need License for Kids in Playgroups

Chuck E Cheese, McDonald's playhouse, City Parks, should be required to have health records and be mandated to follow day care laws.

All it takes is one complaint for hell to freeze over.

yeah, I was wondering whether some govt leach was kicked out of the playgroup and that's what kicked this off.

Simple solution... tell the kids a Bible story. 1st Amendment doesn't need a license.

I would not bet on that.

I predicted this would happen.

In my experience all these clubs require members to pay dues.

In Indiana, we did not pay dues. It was more akin to a co-op. The group met once a week in a space provided by a local church. The Moms took turns watching the kids. There was a schedule.

It appears that kids are no longer their parents property. The parents are the ones that need supervision from the govt apparently.

What really is worrisome is when these kids see their parents punished for "not having a license / permit", it creates a Learned Behavior of Obedience to the Govt. When these kids grow up and have their own kids, how will they behave? Will they expect to need permission to wipe their own asses? How about the grandkids? Not that I think we have that long...

Exactly.

It is possible but this is a church group so I don't think there are dues.

If this is a church group, the gov has no legal say over it.
