A Southampton couple who say they were rejected as prospective foster parents because of their religious views on homosexuality and gender identity are suing a dozen representatives of the state Department of Children and Families.
Michael and Catherine “Kitty” Burke say in the lawsuit that, after 30 hours of training, lengthy interviews and assessments of their home, health and family life, DCF denied them a foster care license on the grounds that they “would not be affirming to a child who identified as LGBTQIA.” The suit, filed this month in U.S. District Court in Massachusetts, names Kate Walsh, secretary of the Executive Office of Health and Human Services, DCF Commissioner Linda Spears, and 10 others.
Southampton England?
U.S. District Court in Massachusetts,
Here in Washington state they just passed a law to “protect” children. If your child runs away from home and thinks they are the opposite sex, the state will provide shelter, provide hormones and sex change operations, AND not tell the parents where the child is to prevent them from “abusing” the child.
Would a queer couple be affirming to a child who identified as Christian?
Another thing to add to the list of things that are felonies EXCEPT when the state does it.
Thank you.
The lesson here is that if you feel like you have a vocation to be a foster parent, just leave the government out of it.
RE: AND not tell the parents
That’s the part that will help determine if the Republic lives or dies. If parents relinquish their rights and let the teachers, administrators and teachers’ union decide everything for children (It Takes A Village) then it’s effectively over.
In Communist China children are not allowed to have Bibles or go to religious services.
And Vladimir Lenin: Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.
