Children being cared for solely by their parents isn't "natural": children used to be raised by entire villages

Yes but a daycare isn't your village raising your kids, it's random people, most aren't from your community much less your own country.

Ah, now the pearl clutching makes sense. Some of other children in daycare are from the bad and weird ethnicity. Would a 23andme be a good requirement for playdates then?

I didn't say anything about ethnicity - are you kidding me? My community has nearly all ethnicities.
