Because, today we're cracking down on racist parents; tomorrow it could be common sense parents (not necessarily Christians) who just don't want their kids to be misled into believing that homosexuality (or other perverse or promiscuous behavior alike) is normal; or it cold be someone who doesn't believe that every white man (including those who immigrated from Eastern Europe just days ago) is personally responsible for pushing the natives off their lands. And once those guys are dealt with - who's going to be next?Leonardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01745434180812340088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1262113763277382013.post-14686234777457342002009-06-05T08:48:30.800-03:002009-06-05T08:48:30.800-03:00I agree it is very troubling.
As you say, it beg...I agree it is very troubling. <br />As you say, it begins with the extreme example of these parents with Nazi ideology. The problem is how to handle a situation like that? It reminds me of the cult in Texas where all the children were removed from their mothers while the investigation was ongoing.
