Ten Year Old Girl Forced To Attend Public School Because of Her Christian Beliefs

A court in New Hampshire ordered a ten year old home school girl to attend public school instead of being home schooled. Why?

Was it because she was falling behind academically? No, she was doing better than the children in public school.

Was it because she was not socially developing? No, she was outgoing, happy and "well-adjusted."

What was the reason? Because her mother was raising her daughter to be a evangelical Christian. According to the court order the girl “appeared to reflect her mother’s rigidity on questions of faith” and that the girl’s interests “would be best served by exposure to a public school setting” and “different points of view at a time when she must begin to critically evaluate multiple systems of belief...in order to select, as a young adult, which of those systems will best suit her own needs.”

In other words, parents cannot teach their Christian beliefs to their children.

Did you know that under communism in the Soviet Union there was religious freedom. That was the law of the land. How it worked was that you could practice your religion inside the walls of your church. But, you could not talk about your religion outside of the church. And you could not discuss your religion, or teach your religion to your children in your home.
