That is a state responsibility.

Also, I didn't realize the GOP was completely in charge of Congress for 12 years. When did that happen and how did I miss it?

It is not (or shouldn't be) a State responsibility, it is a family responsibility. The familiy is responsible for raising their offspring, with or without help from their immediate community, as they see fit.

As your response to the question seems to be one of Defense you seem to be speaking of yourself, perhaps you could go on offense and answer the initial question.
