The phrase is attributed to an old African proverb. Its exact origin seems to be lost in time. In 1994 children's author Jane Cowen-Fletcher released a book, published by Scholastic Press, titled It Takes A Village in which a young African girl searches for her younger brother, only to find the rest of the village has been watching over him as well.
In January 1996 publisher Simon & Schuster released hillary Rodham-Clinton's It Takes a Village: And Other Lessons Children Teach Us. Reviews are mixed.
In May 2001, publisher Harper-Collins released the seventh book in the Lemony Snicket's Unfortunate Events series titled The Vile Village, it was mentioned at the beginning of the book, "It takes a village to raise a child."

It takes two parents to produce a child but it takes an entire village to raise a child should the community have some responsibility to make sure all kids turn out ok?
A community is not what it used to be. Once upon a time everyone in a neighborhood new and communicated with each other. That just isn't how it works anymore. I think ad…ults do have a responsibility to be there for the children in their lives though rather they are their own or not. They cannot be a replacement for the parent, but they can still have a positive influence. It is good for a kid to know they have people they can go to if they get into some sort of trouble or just need to vent.

Where did the phrase red haired step child come from?
The origin of the phrase "red haired/headed step child" dates to the 1830's & 40's when Irish emigrants began arriving in America. The newly arrived Irish were somewhere… below free blacks on the social scale at the time, and lived in segregated communities. Then, like now, young men were having sexual relations with young women before marriage. Sometimes the men were Irish and the girls were not. This resulted in many out of wedlock children with that red Irish hair. When these young women did finally marry, usually to a young man not of Irish descent, the new husband was not particularly patient or sympathetic to the red haired step child and treated them harshly. The phrase is derogatory although many do not know its origin, it is still considered an insult to knowledgeable people of Irish descent, and should be avoided in polite conversation.

How do you raise a child in an interfaith marriage?
It most certainly won't be easy, but it is possible. Just as you were able to marry someone of a different faith without loving them less or feeling the need to convert them i…nto your beliefs, the same should be for the child. While you may not be able to raise them directly under either faith, you both can (and probably should) teach your child of both faiths without tearing the others down, and show forgiveness if the child does something that is seen as normal for one of your faiths, but not the other. The child shouldn't be pulled or tugged in either direction, or told that they are playing favorites with the parents if they choose not to follow one or the others faith. Eventually, the child will, at their own discretion, choose which one they feel is correct, or they may decide to carry both in life. If not, the child may decide not to have any faith at all. Whichever the choice, they should not be scorned by either parent because of it.

Where does the phrase take it as red come from?
There are two predominant meanings for the phrase "take it as read", so it depends on the context in which it is used. In a committee meeting or similar setting, it can be… used to imply that everyone in attendance should have already received and read a given document (e.g. minutes of a previous meeting) prior to this meeting, so rather than reading the entire document aloud, it can be "taken as read" and officially recorded that it was so. In a more general setting, it can mean that something is assumed to be true, without supporting evidence, or despite contradictory evidence - such as taking someone at their word, without asking them to show proof that what they say is true. Or in the case of people who believe everything they read, and who have an infuriating habit of propagating internet hoaxes, because they don't check the facts before they hit the "share" button.
