claim: Claims that Hillary Clinton wrote, "I believe the primary role of the state is to teach, train and raise children. Parents have a secondary role."
evidence: Parents have a secondary role." -- Hillary Clinton, It Takes a Village [...] Clinton’s 1996 book caused controversy among some critics who saw her as arguing that society, not parents, were responsible for raising children. This meme seems to stem from that belief. However, Clinton and her allies have long argued that critics have misunderstood her message, saying that she didn’t advocate for society to usurp the roles of parents, but rather that she saw a role for other individuals -- including other family members, neighbors, teachers, pastors and others -- to have a positive, additive role in raising children.
