Logan's Run: Should the state be the parents?

Several dystopian novels and films such as Brave New World and Logan's Run to name a few portray futures, either strange or apocalyptic, where the state raises children and parents have no connection with their offspring.  Consider the book written by Hillary Clinton "It takes a village."  What Hillary and feminists really mean is that the village should just write welfare checks to mothers.  But taken to it's logical extreme, or even conclusion, won't this ultimately mean that the state will raise the children?

I'm here to propose that maybe it wouldn't be so bad after all.  Lots of parents stink.  Some of them criminally.  Why should the state wait to rescue them?  Let's compare parenting to the homeschool debate.  Homeschoolers are made fun of because they're taught by amateurs (giggle!)  You know, religious losers who don't want their children learning about evolution and haven't graduated college (even if they're teaching 3rd grade math to their kids.)  They don't get to socialize as much.  Indeed, imagine if the state raised kids less like an orphanage but more like a Harry Potter style boarding school with horsies and fancy eating halls.  I have a friend whose mother sent him to one and he loved it.  He loved his parents but he didn't have a problem being away from them for a year at a time.

In addition, consider this endearing feminist paradigm taken to it's logical extreme: If men are disposable and you only need their money for taxes or support, why not do the same to a woman?  If primary parenting is about feeding and clothing children and cashing checks, why is a daycare worker less of a "primary" parent than a career woman who orders nannies around? 

How long would the middle and upper classes put up with paying more to send their kids to the same place as poor children?  The promise of the public school system was it existed to guarantee poor children an equal right to the same education as a wealthy child.  How has that worked out?  In the end, ALL parents of record would have to pay "child" support to Hogwarts so women who got a sperm donor would be footing the bills all on their own and, in addition, the Octomom loophole where welfare mothers get paid to look after their own kids would be shut.  Poor women would be in the same boat as poor men where they would face working long hours to pay for children they aren't allowed to see.   In addition, this would also close the loophole for illegal aliens who have anchor babies.  

So with all that said, was the old system of a father being financially responsible for supporting a woman in a two parent family and sharing authority for raising their children so oppressive?
