Another Liberty (False) Alert

This is fascinating. Liberty Alert attorneys assert that because a school is asking sexual questions of a child it is also asserting, as they put it: 'Parents - back off. Susie belongs to the public school'... .
Liberty Alert: "The Petition states: 'No one believes when a child is dropped off at day care, soccer practice, or summer camp that parents cease being parents.... Although parents might object to subjecting seven-year-old Susie to probing questions about her sexual thoughts, feelings and experiences, as long as the school does not commit treason, the Ninth Circuit's decision says: 'Parents - back off. Susie belongs to the public school'... . The breadth of this decision is staggering. It presents an issue of exceptional importance.'"
It seems Liberty fails to recognize that sexual abuse--most of which occurs between kids and people in their immediate family or friends of the family--can be discovered in this manner and in fact the school may be protecting children from sexual predators in their own home!

That schools protect children and begin to help them become individuals free of parental restraint or even parental neglect and abuse is *not* what Christocrats are aiming for. Their aim is dead-on the public school system--disassembling it until the only schools left are parochial and home-based or otherwise privatized. Christocrats are firmly entrenched in the destruction of the common-wealth of American public education.

Christocrats are interested in the freedom from governmental interference in their religious prosecutions, not the freedom of others to avoid or be free of religion. Hypocritical in every sense of the word!
Mathew D. Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel, stated: "The Ninth Circuit's ruling is deplorable as it strips parents of their constitutional rights to protect their children. Parental involvement in the education of their children should be encouraged, not punished. This ruling is an assault on every parent whose child attends public school. Parents do not cease being parents when their child walks through the schoolhouse gate."
I find it fascinating that Christocrats' definition of freedom only includes the freedom to pursue -- not freedom from -- indoctrination by Christians.
