Thank You. I do appreciate your post to me here. It is rare that in a heated debate someone decides to apoligize for their passion on the issue. The apology really wasn’t needed but I sincerely admire you for being able to give it. Hopefully you do not just sit back and read only but instead keep up the good fight. If you feel like you need to fine tune your posting style then I am sure you will work it out.
Hopefully we are still FRiends.
After thinking a little I have decided to concede the debate for now to ‘christianmommaof3’ in that I should give some thought and reconsider my position in regards to the initial comments I made calling for an investigation of this family.
I do believe strongly in parental rights, homeschooling, and do share many of the concerns about the dangers of powerful government agencies such as the CPS. Though there is a fine line because I also do believe in the protection of children as well, and the story of this leftist family from Canada freaked me out. It may be though that I have some bias in the way that I view them.
To be honest with myself most of the time that I have seen cases involving the state and children the state have shown themselves to be completely dysfunctional. I have seen some cases where the child should be protected and the state says that they could do nothing and then seen plenty of cases where split parents are using the CPS as a tool to try and damage the other parent.
It is a shame that we live in such tough times due to a corrupt left-wing culture. I commend parents who are doing all they can to take full responsibility for the raising of their children, their education, their values, and their safety. Parents such as this deserve great repsect and deserve full support and not battles such as this from me. The battles presented by today’s culture are tough enough.
So in return I offer my apology to those who are fighting the good fight for their children and say again that I concede the debate and will reconsider my position overall on the topic of parental rights.
Wow I was really surprised to read this. Your graciousness does not go unnoticed. Blessings!
