Whether or not you agree that society should support children, your criticism of the analogy makes no sense.

How so? The typo? Everyone uses the school so everyone should not complain. Everyone is not a parent so the analogy breaks down.

Kids aren't some abstract thing, they are new people that get jobs and work to pay your social security payments and fix your roads and stuff. We need kids because we need people in society. Everyone needs parents around, even if they aren't one themselves.

There's no lack of parents or children so none of these points seems to matter anyway. Overpopulation is actually more of an issue.

No, children need adults around. Everyone does not need parents around. This is all far off base from what my comments stated and just your opinions about parents.

Everyone is raised by a parent at some point.

Again of course, but it still excludes people without kids. You're repeating the same thing in a different way.
