"The basis for the children being taken into custody was educational neglect." ... That would be true of millions of other children in the public schools.

But then they go on and say this:

"According to documentation several state witnesses accused Mrs. O'Dell of having 'standards' and expectations that were too high for her children."

I am sorry but you cannot neglect and have standards too high all that the same time. It's either one or the other. So what is it? Is she negelcting their education or has she just set the bar higher then the feel good educrats like.

If it weren't for the fact that they were Christians AND homeschoolers (two strikes) the PTB would be calling their living situation a courageous and diverse lifestyle choice that we should all be tolerant of (and I do find them corageous just in a different way then the lefties would) . But they have made the mistake (in the damn Commies eyes) of showing they don't need any government help or interference (although they will accept neighborly assistance). It scares the darn Commmies that people can solve their problems independent of them and they will punish them accordingly to make sure they get back in line where they belong.

These people need lots of prayers sent on their behalf.
