The Word on Fire

The most disturbing prospect...

Brought to my attention by Professor Beckwith over at The Catholic Thing:

"So, here is the future: if the state can declare the Johns unfit to be foster parents, and thus deny them foster children, because they may teach these children the Christian understanding of human sexuality, then the state, armed with Judge Walker’s premises, can declare any married couple unfit to be parents, and thus remove their natural children from their home, because these parents, in fact, teach their children the same lesson the Johns were forbidden from teaching. For it is a lesson that is irrational and harms others, and thus to impart it to one’s children is a form of child abuse."

The possibility of a future in which my family might be desecrated by the abduction of my own children may be the single most infuriating result of this controversy yet.

  1. (I intended to post here some time ago.) This article disgusted me--I showed some family members who agreed wholeheartedly. What else is this world coming to?? I certainly hope it never gets that far--to 1984 levels.
