Re: Republican Platform is brainwashing
I don't know what it's like where you live, but here in the US membership in racist organizations, a history of racist demonstrations, involvement in racially-motivated violence - all can be grounds for termination of parental rights.
I'd be most interested to see citations to cases where that has happened.

It has always struck me as odd that fundies devote so much time and effort into trying to find a naturalistic explanation for their mythical flood, while looking for magical explanations for things that actually happened. -- Dr. Adequate

The judge did not have that option. If it's your contention that he did, then by all means, present the evidence.
Yeah, judges actually do have the authority to appoint a guardian ad litem to represent the interests of minor children in divorce cases and award custody to a third party if the guardian recommends that.

Re: Republican Platform is brainwashing
What do you mean by "a right to NOT hear"? How do you envision that a child would take an action to "NOT hear" words spoken by a parent, a teacher, or a pastor? Please give examples for all three, and then explain how, legally, a child would have no right to take those actions if he or she desired.
Imagine if you will, a child is told by a parent to turn off the television and clean up his room. The child is told by a teacher to put away the comic book and work the problems on the board. The child is told by a priest to quit complaining and take it up the ass like a man. Okay, bad example. The child is told by a pastor to stop disrupting the Sunday school lesson. This child then files suit against the parent, teacher and pastor, claiming he has a right to not listen to them.
What do you think a judge would do with that suit?
