Sorry, but the father has standing in this issue even if his views aren’t popular around here. This is a case of two count’em two parents who have a fundamental disagreement on child rearing, so it had to be settled in court. This is not a constitutional issue or a matter of the state pushing an agenda, but a simple matter of the judge having to side with one parent or the other, and this rare case, it was the father.
I never said his opinion shouldn’t be considered, but unless he’s dealing with the day to day raising of the girl and the one doing damage control from what the public school is going to inflict on this girl, tough beans for him.
HE’S not the one living with her.
Thank God.
