minus-squareERROR: Earth.exe has crashedlinkfedilinkEnglish5•1 month agoThe term “nanny state” typically refers to a government that intrude on every aspect of life that should not be the role of government. Examples: What food to eat. Clothing to wear. Places you are allowed to go. What time you have to return home. Bed times. Having a non toxic school envionment or invervening in cases of child abuse is not typically under the unbrella of “nanny state”. Otherwise you’d be saying that any country that protects against child abuse to be a “nanny state”.
