Quotes from Candice
“of feel like we're in a moment where everyone's sort of going, we love Big Brother, we love Big Brother, come in and do this for us.”
Candice Holdsworth argues against state-imposed social media bans for teenagers, asserting that parenting decisions should remain with parents rather than government. She criticizes the broader trend of accepting state overreach and links top-down school policies on gender identity to a socialist approach that disregards parental authority and individual choice.

after their baby while driving, maybe. I'll give them that a few goes, I'll tell you. But they couldn't go on social media. You can do all those other things, but then you can't go on social media.

enough to make that decision, but to go on Instagram, oh, absolutely no way. You've got kids, Candice. Where do you stand on this? I'm against it. I totally agree with you. I think it's the job of parents, not the state. And I sort of feel like we're in a moment where everyone's sort of going, we love Big Brother, we love Big Brother, come in and do this for us. Actually, I have arguments with this, with people I know my age who are like, no, we need a full-on ban. And if you say to them, but it's what you want for your
child, I might want something different, and they have no respect for it. Well, this is the socialist approach to everything, but certainly to parenting. And you see this with policies at schools. So when kids go to their teachers and say, you know, I think I was born in the wrong body, I want to be a girl or something, we've had these stories of kids turning up at school wearing dresses for the day and then going home in their trousers. And the school's policies don't tell the parents. In other words, this is a classic socialist
kind of communist outlook.
