New York Assembly Considers 'Parent Law Bill' That Would Legally Require Kids to Eat Vegetables, Sparking Meme Meltdown
A proposed "parent law bill" in the New York Assembly has gone viral for all the wrong reasons, with internet historians calling it the most inadvertently hilarious piece of legislation since the "right to party" amendment. The bill, aimed at codifying parental authority, has been memed into oblivion after critics joked it reads like a 10-year-old's wish list: "Thou shalt not talk back, thou shalt finish broccoli, thou shalt return the Wi-Fi password by 9 PM." The irony? In trying to protect parents, the bill accidentally made lawmakers look like they've never met a teenager. "It’s as if they think grounding is a constitutional amendment," quipped one viral TikTok. The real joke? The bill might pass—because apparently, Albany is the only place where helicopter parenting is a legislative priority. #NYAssemblyParentLawBill #BroccoliIsNowTheLaw
