Be Watchful

I don't know all the details of this story, and it involves a bitter divorce, but the rough details are that a judge has ruled, solely on the basis of a mother's conservative religous beliefs, that her children be enrolled in public school, to ensure that the children receive a "more well rounded education". The judge himself admitted that the children were thriving academically in the homeschool setting, but that they needed to be exposed to beliefs other than that of their mother.

Folks, this is scary. Since when did an unelected judge, or even an elected one for that matter, acquire the right/responsibility to decide what "well rounded" means for your kids, and what they need to be "exposed" to.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
