Now, I'm sure getting this overturned will be quite easy. It's nonetheless quite kooky.

You've gotta be kidding me. Judges like this need to be kicked out, immediately.

Reynar obviously shouldn't have said:
An Indianapolis father is appealing a Marion County judge's unusual order that prohibits him and his ex-wife from exposing their child to "non-mainstream religious beliefs and rituals."You've gotta be kidding me. Judges like this need to be kicked out, immediately.
Disbar that jerk. Like yesterday!
The Government has no place in telling a parent what religion is acceptable to instruct their children! Especially if both parents agree on it!
Kind of a "See, I'm taking care of those witches and devil worshipers, keep me in office."
Unless, for some bizarre reason, it holds up on appeal.

I am a firm believer that this country was founded on " christian Values" However it was also founded with the idea that you are free to worship however you wish as long as you are not harming others. Now this idiot has taken the very thing that the Founding fathers were trying to avoid and turned it into reality.
Prayer (of any sort) before a governmental even = fine
Ten Commandments or whatever in a courthouse = fine.
Telling a person what religion they or their child is allowed to practice = idiotic decision that should have the guy removed from any position of authority.

I want to know what Azizza plans on doing to empower wizards and mad scientists in Indiana during his political administration.
My plan it to give tax abatements to all Mad Scientists starting up new secret Laboratories. In addition I feel that there should be some incentive for all Aspiring Wizards to advance their craft. Perhaps governmental assistance on all reagents.
Lyinar, I am going to be in Evansville this weekend it turns out. However I have a meeting with the state Chairman next weekend and should be up there friday night or saturday afternoon.

Thing is, shit like that shouldn't have to go to appeal in the first place. It's an extra amount of costs to over turn something that's blatantly a miscarriage.
Why did that even go to courts to begin with?

It was a part of the parents' divorce case, the strange thing is that neither of the parents requested that clause, yet the judge decided to insert it.
I ask this cause of an earlier comment about trying to score points with a political group. It does seem that electing judges would destroy any chance of a judge being an impartial authority.

Some places in the US do elect them for state courts, federal judges are all appointed afaik.

Actually, the more I think about it, I can see the reason for doing this.
It's a well-known but rather undocumented fact that the Wiccan faith did encourage barbaric and tortuous practices before a majority of its fanatical followers were forcibly removed from this mortal coil. The judge was acting purely in the child's best interest to protect it from the obvious brainwashing he was to receive from fanatical parents.
I can see no reason to force this child into the hands of non-religious fanatics who will sorely skew his view on life and the world in general.

Is this supposed to be a troll or are you overlooking the various historical transgressions of pretty much any religion in history that were common before their fanatical followers died out?

I don't see how you of all people can be opposed to this; I thought socialists were all for government-mandated prayer and those things.
Face it; Away from a Wiccan influence the child will simply grow up to be much more tolerant and compassionate than he would in such a close-minded family.

Glad we cleared that up.

Stop trolling.
The judge is taking the position that if your kid is in a Catholic school, you shouldn't be confusing him with wiccan beliefs as well, and if you want to teach him wicca, get him into a regular public school. But it wasn't worded that way at all in the clause.
No, Really. Bite me.

This can be said of any religion, if you think about it. Either way, it is unconstitutional for a United States Judge, who is affiliated with the government, to direct the religious doctrine of any individual, be it an adult or that adult's child.
Children do have the ability to choose a religion for themselves, but parents have the right to teach their chosen religion to their children.
For example, if this were a Baptist child going to a Catholic school(fat chances, I know), and this same ruling was mandated, most people would not be NEARLY as accepting.

My father always wanted me to learn what ever I could about religion so I would be able to make my own decisions. Sending a kid to a Catholic school, and raising them in a different belief does no harm. It helps broaden their mind.
