Forced on the children. That's unjust no matter how you sugar coat it.
I don't know how you were raised, but when I was a child, EVERYTHING was forced on me.
I was forced to go to bed at a certain time.
I was forced to eat what was on my plate.
I was forced to help my siblings.
I was forced to do my homework.

"Forced on the children"...it's a great emotional-sound-bite, but upon review, it makes no sense. Children are forced to do about 99% of their tasks. Because they're children.
