Yeah it's not "shill"
It's "outreach" . In this case a distinction without a difference.

“Teens are part of a 'pilot' program to test whether young people can be trained as messengers to deliver outreach and limited education to family and friends in and around their homes,” said Gayle Pollard-Terry, a LAUSD spokesman, in an email.
The source confirms it.

No more than stopping you from whatever it is you teach your kids.

I don't indoctrinate them to believe in a invisible old man who lives in the clouds.

Neither do we and even if we did what's that to you? I don't interfere in raising your kids, if you want them to grow up ignorant of all the possibilities that's your business.

My friends daughter taught her grand parents English, and helps them fill out forms for goods, services, and benefits, including on line bill paying. If you don't want anyone telling you how to raise your kids, then don't tell them how to raise theirs.
Make your choices, and let them make theirs. Seems reasonable to me.

If I were telling others how to raise their kids you might have a point. Otherwise, what part of using children to spread government messages is wrong do you not get? Oh that's right, our kids don't belong to us. And I'm sure you'll miss the irony in that.

He keeps saying it because he doesn't believe it takes a village to raise kids*, but he makes an exception to his village telling you how to raise YOUR kids.
* The phrase is attributed to an old African proverb. Its exact origin seems to be lost in time. In 1994 children's author Jane Cowen-Fletcher released a book, published by Scholastic Press, titled It Takes A Village in which a young African girl searches for her younger brother, only to find the rest of the village has been watching over him as well.
In January 1996 publisher Simon & Schuster released hillary Rodham-Clinton's It Takes a Village: And Other Lessons Children Teach Us. Reviews are mixed.
In May 2001, publisher Harper-Collins released the seventh book in the Lemony Snicket's Unfortunate Events series titled The Vile Village, it was mentioned at the beginning of the book, "It takes a village to raise a child."

Who cares what a political commentator says. In the same vein that we dismiss what Fox commentators say. It ain't policy or law.
Also how many times have you told us that one righty doesn't speak for all of you? Why are the rules different for you?

In your world we're always imposing, forcing or otherwise interjecting where we shouldn't be, like here:
"If you don't want anyone telling you how to raise your kids, then don't tell them how to raise theirs."
The implication is clear, by objecting to public schools exploiting kids on behalf of Obamacare we are telling others how to raise their kids, according to your logic. You did the same thing over the contraception mandate, in objecting to forcing the church to pay for contraceptives you interpret that as forcing our beliefs on you.
