Tragic!
He's just jerking his ex around, and seeking publicity at the same time.
And really teaching his kid a lesson . . . not the one he thinks he is though.
The child got this far without objection by the father. Too late!
Many Protestants send their kids to Catholic schools without fearing they will be "indoctrinated" into a religion they don't agree with. I know many Jewish kids attended my school, which had daily chapel services which featured Christian hymns and New Testament readings.
Kagin said part of Kentucky’s constitution reads, "Nor shall any man be compelled to send his child to any school to which he may be conscientiously opposed."
I think "man" here really means "person." The mother has rights too.
The father is not neutral in this issue of “god”. He is atheist/antitheist. His religion is the no god god.
If he is going to defer to the state, the state can make no religion (or lack thereof) the default religion.
They can neither establish NOR OPPOSE.
CHILD ABUSE!!! “Better to have not been born than lead a child astray”...or something like that.
man beats exwife with child. story at 11.
Nice Dad...not only has this divorce ripped apart a family and affected this poor boy - now “Dad” wants to turn the poor kids life upside down again and destroy another aspect of his life that he is used to..nice going pops!

“A view that the world operates in conformity with supernatural forces and not with natural laws,”Horsepuckey! The Church teaches BOTH Natural Law and Supernatural Law and they are complimentary!

ATHIEST SUE TO PREVENT SUN FROM RISING
STORY TO FOLLOW
As a Constitutionalist, I have to ask how a judge can order a child attend any private school. He can rule the custodial parent make the choice or he can rule the child must be schooled, but I don’t see where he has the authority to specify the school himself unless the child has been remanded to a particular correctional facility. Any Constitutionalists with law backgrounds who will explain this to me?
I picked upo on this remark by the attorney: He says that the school teaches”
A view that the world operates in conformity with supernatural forces and not with natural laws,”
Not if it’s a Catholic school. If he is reflecting the father’s thinking, then the father is ignorant. More likely the attorney is ignorant and can’t talk intelligently about the matter. But, hey, he gets paid even if he spouts nonsense!
Spoken like any good Nazi. Recall that some of the most egregious laws of the Third Reich were "legal" and "constitutional." They just weren't moral.
The custodial parent should get to pick the school. The judge should throw him out of court and sanction his lawyer.
Um, the dad doesn’t even LIVE with the kid. What a jerk!
My ex husband did the same thing. I suspect this guy became an atheist when the tuition bill came in the mail.
Going to a public school never turned anybody into an atheist, though it's not a superior education.
And many an atheist was educated at religious schools.
I wonder if he was an atheist when she married him. Does the Catholic Church permit marriages to athiests?
I’d like to know what happened at the wedding. If I remember correctly, in cases of mixed-marriages if the Church was to perform the solemnities then she requested that the non-Catholic had to agree that any children be raised as Catholics - this may now be out of date (unfortunately).
