How a confederate flag painted on a rock could cost a mom her kid
ny post ^

A New York mom is caught between a rock and an appellate court.

The upstate woman has been told she needs to ditch a driveway decoration painted with a confederate flag or risk losing custody of her mixed race child — even though a family court judge didn’t consider it to be an issue when it was raised during trial.

“Given that the child is of mixed race, it would seem apparent that the presence of the flag is not in the child’s best interests, as the mother must encourage and teach the child to embrace her mixed race identity, rather than thrust her into a world that only makes sense through the tortured lens of cognitive dissonance,” judges with the Appellate Division’s Third Department in Albany wrote in a ruling released Thursday.

I bet this lady would even let her kid watch Dukes of Hazard, probably best to just put the kid in foster care

Offend the Woke at every opportunity ... enjoy offending the Woke, celebrate those that offend the Woke.

Wow.

What an overreach by the court.

But then, logic, reason, and facts are part of white supremacy, they believe.

““I think that it is a rather astonishing extension of wokeness in now that the door seems to be opening that someone’s political viewpoint reflects on their fitness as a parent,” Stutman said.

“It is one of the clearest infringements on someone’s free speech by the state to have a court threaten to restrict a parents’ rights to their child based upon … the propriety of a person’s political beliefs.”

You can’t fly a confederate flag, but we have LGBTQ flags flying all over the world.

How is that the Confederate Flag? Either I’m color blind or the colors are completely reversed.

Whoever is threatening the mom needs to be set straight by legitimate means of course.

If someone has been turned over to a depraved mind whatever celebrates perversion will get their approval.

“You can’t fly a confederate flag, but we have LGBTQ flags flying all over the world.”

The LGBTQ flag is big with our State Department. They’d rather fly it, than the Flag of the United States.

When Senator Everett Dirksen talked about firing the “lavender lads,” burrowed in the State Department in the 1950’s. Apparently nobody acted on his information in the following decades.

Foggy Bottom is full of homos. Trump hating homos.
