Bad Judges

STFU
" ... why a court has the power to decide whether someone's religious views are too extreme?"
depicted - bad judge
 This isn't about home schooling.  This isn't about releigious views.  This is about a New Hampshire judge using a family dispute to set a very ugly precedent.
  A New Hampshire court ordered a home-schooled Christian girl to attend a public school this week after a judge criticized the "rigidity" of her mother's religious views and said the 10-year-old needed to consider other worldviews as she matures.
The judge did have the option of telling the parents to work it out themselves, and should have.

An interesting point here - the complaint from the father said that he was concerned about the girls socialization skills [despite the fact that the mother has enrolled the girl in some public school classes and has her participate in extra curricular activities to address exactly her father's concerns]. I can't find any reference anywhere to the father questioning the girl's religious views and/or the rigidity with which she holds them.

As far as I can determine, the only reference to religion came from the court.

Having said that, it does look like the father is angling for custody [after all, the mother has taken steps to address his concerns] and the judge has set it up perfectly - if she doesn't send the kid to school she's going to loses custody - if I were her I'd be looking at a private religious academy of some sort.

You do have to wonder what the court's reaction would have been if the girl had been Muslim as opposed to Christian????

Seems to me the judge is guilty of a civil rights violation -- under color of law denying the free exercise of a constitutionally-protected right.

She's already impeached herself. Hang her.
