Maybe you haven't noticed, but this forum is alittle biased, homeschoolmama.
Look, we can disagree on many issues. I have my opinions, too. I think Newdow is flaky, to be honest. I also think a mother should ALWAYS be given primary custody (unless she poses a danger to the child), and that she is alwyas entitled to child support payments.
However, I think a father (unless he is dangerous) is entitled to a say in his daughter's upbringing. We cannot take that right away simply because we personally dislike a man, even if the vast majority dislike him.
I think you're personalizing the issue because you know the mother, and I can understand that.

**I think you're personalizing the issue because you know the mother, and I can understand that. **
I agree with you on that.
While Newdow has proven himself to be a flake, the mother of his child certainly has proven herself to be a decent human being in this situation. She is carrying herself with grace and wisdom, seeking what is best for her daughter...and stating her daughter's personal beliefs to settle misconceptions.
Thank you for your thoughtful response. I appreciate it.
