Court orders Christian

[Ferd]

Im conflicted. This really isn't the court picking on the Christian.

The case is about Parental rights. It just happens the conflict is in the area of faith.

What do you do when there is a divorce and there is conflict between the parents on how to raise a child?

I honestly dont think this particular case is an assault on Christianity, but I do think courts often do attack Christians quite often.

this is a tuff one.

FERD I would agree if it were actually just parental rights. It is also religious rights.

(In the case of NC, it is also the father does not want to pay for home schooling expenses.)

Nonetheless the parent in possesion and doing the schooling should have the greater say unless there is a compelling reason.

In these cases the children are all testing ABOVE standard. And in the first case NH the mom even takes the kids to several special classes at the public school. Where THE SCHOOL says they are socially acclimated. The guardian ad litem did not like the fact the ten year old had made up her mind about "religion" and wanted her to be exposed many others faiths before making up her mind.

Combined with district level judges who had a clear anti-Christian bais.

Cases should be overturned.

I for one have always felt a keen desire to protect the rights of parents....

I think the court is out of line however the father is probably pushing this, and the court is left to make a decision because mom and dad can't figure it out on their own.

I agree. The headline should probably read "Court Ruled in Dad's Favor and Not Mom's."

It's not like the court just waltzed into some unsuspecting Christian's home and bussed the kids off. The parents went to the court in the first place.

Then there's that ... And the "guardian" is a bit dense in the area of a 10 year-old "making up her mind" about religion.

Guardian needs to read this forum and see how fluid the opinions of grown adults can be. So what if the kid said something like, "I believe in Jesus..." When she's 14 she may be a Gaia worshiping Buddhist - even without a public school's involvement.

But the headline was clearly misleading and a bit inflammatory.
