“But it wasn’t my parents that taught me that language, it was my brother.”

All kids do learn bad language and I admit people do some dumb things with their kids. How many parents teach their kids to say “[team name] s*cks!”

I am very, very hesitant about taking people’s kids away from them; and frankly I’m not at all confident that the state has better places to put them.

Do you have a right to raise your children as YOU see fit, or can you only do it in an approved manner? And if the latter, who is the judge?

Are you entitled to raise your kid to be a commie? a fascist? a white supremacist? a black supremacist?

Because how long before we get from there to saying you can’t raise your kid to be a democrat, a republican, a catholic, an atheist?

Maybe the people involved here need some parenting classes or something, and maybe they opened themselves up to public scrutiny by posting the video on the internet, but, sorry I know I’m repeating myself, absent other abuse or neglect to remove the children from the home is very extreme.

As horrible as this case is, it does very much concern me that the state has the power to take children away from their parents simply because it does not approve of the language that the parents are using/teaching.
