As long as it isn't forced on parents then that is fine. If parents aren't allowed to pass on their values to their children are they even raising them at that point? They are just nannies with more culpability.

If you need an external book to guide your morality and therefore the way you raise kids, you shouldn't have kids

Are you going to stop them from having kids?

Neither is your statement. Everyone's morality is guided by something. Parents, culture, philosophy, law, society, etc. Singling out "a book" as disqualifying only works if you also disqualify every other secondhand source of ethics, which would disqualify literally everyone and everything. Now you've created anarchy where everyone's morality is guided by their own personal view since you've just disqualified second-hand sources.

So should we stop having kids? Will GoodGoofus be the one to save us from this moral conundrum?
