America, Hillary Clinton wants control of your children.

The Democratic presidential nominee sent a collective chill down the spine of many parents in a disturbing Twitter post on Thursday.

As @FLOTUS said, the choice in this election is about who will have the power to shape our children for the next four years of their lives.

Clinton’s big-government pitch set off Twitter users who wanted no part of her future.

This is the scariest thing I’ve ever heard. https://t.co/4NkfYmDKbd

@HillaryClinton @FLOTUS The fact you think it’s government’s job to “shape our children” creeps me the hell out.

@HillaryClinton @FLOTUS It’s not government’s job to shape my children – it’s mine.

Clinton has made these kind of remarks before, echoing the theme in her book “It Takes a Village,” as her policies and those of President Obama’s have sought to have more state-controlled raising of the nation’s children. Clinton’s tweet seemed to be referring to a speech given by Michelle Obama in July during the Democratic National Convention.

Twitter users let Clinton have it with a collective “Thanks, but no thanks” on social media.

Here is a sampling:

@HillaryClinton If I had kids, I wouldn’t let you or @FLOTUS even speak to them, let alone “shape” their future. Also, that’s NOT POTUS role
