“Taken Into Custody: The War Against Fatherhood, Marriage and the Family.”
Yep. There certainly is a war on. And some here on Free Republic buy the crap the government tells them, “that it’s for the children”, without realizing how the law is stacked against ANYONE that the CPS goes after.
Bah!
I don’t know about this. When he says single-parent families aren’t because of fathers abandoning their children, I don’t think that’s true. I work with children from broken homes in my church ministry. Most of those kids don’t even know their fathers, the men never married their mothers in the first place and they left when the woman got pregnant.
Sex before marriage is responsible for a lot of this problem, not just custody decisions. Even when there are divorces a lot of these men are “deadbeat dads” and it’s like pulling teeth to get them even to spend time with their boys. I agree about it’s too easy to get a divorce anymore and I think that is a bigger problem than bias by custody judges. The parent who cares about their family more, no matter whether that’s the mother or the father is always the one who suffers from this, as well as the children. The parent who doesn’t care just punishes the other one and spends their time and money on themself.
My theory is the war on men is based on socialism. If the women are raised to do anything they want outside of the home, it reduces the chance of them raising their children in a conservative, Christian manner. This in turn leaves the children in the liberal public schools 8-9 hours per day. Call me crazy, but it has been part of the plan for almost two hundred years. Read John Taylor Gatto’s History of Compulsory Schooling.
While my own exhusband is a sleazeball deadbeat dad who has seen his children once in 9 years and I don’t know what the hell child support is... my husband was a single father who was told if he took his ex-wife to court for child support enforcement, she would take the kids instead of paying for them and force HIM to pay. This was the 80’s. That was his choice, lose the kids or raise them totally alone. He chose the latter. Luckily we came along for each other and became Mom and Dad for his, mine and ours.
Yow - that’s terrible. How was that principal hired? Was there any parental involvement / school board / or school council advise & consent role? Sounds like there was a coup!
My eldest is home-schooled; #2 son is in an uber-traditional all-boys school run by orthodox, habited Catholic monks. (e.g. the boys stand and await to be invited to sit down by the instructor when he enters the classroom.)
Unfortunately, due to confiscatory taxation practices, my youngest two have to endure public school for now. TBUG we live in a “good” school district academically. I haven’t experienced any radicalism there yet but I’m biding the time.
HOGWASH!!
What is wrong with men being with the children then?
Sorry, I do not agree women should be at home with the children only.
This reduces the child support, and it takes a lot of the fight out of the system.
The left, everywhere in America and the world is at war 24/7 against everything logical, rational, pragmatic, good and decent 24/7.
The left, the Islamofascist fruitcakes and the envirowackos wan’t us all elimanated from the planet.
Actually the war to feminize the country has been going on for 30 years and now, the latest war is to homosexualize the country. Sadly, we sit by, observe, and most are paralyzed by inactivity to stop the steam-roller of “progress.”
Talking to a homeschooler here.
I have read some of John Gatto’s excerpts here, and “Separate School and State”.
Actually, I was reading “Liberal Fascism” last night, and the author was telling how the radical left was raised that way by radical leftist parents. And I said to myself, so this is why they hate homeschoolers, and parents, they don’t want any competition from ANYONE else.
Part of the idea of fascism and socialism, is the value of “unity”. Can’t have leftist “unity” with Christian’s indoctrinating their children to NOT be group think robots. So your basic theory is correct. There is a war on, and it is our very way of life, our children’s future that is at stake. And no, you are not crazy. The average American can not conceive of the evil the left is willing to go to for their false utopia.
I believe that proudtobeanamerican1 was just talking about how to strengthen families. And what it takes to do that. It was not a slam on other choices that make for strong hetro families.
Gee, get a grip.
