A
legal team that lost a case at the Swedish Supreme Court over custody of a boy
taken from his parents because he was being homeschooled says the behavior of
that nation’s judiciary is “concerning.”
The
comment came from Michael Farris, chairman of the Home School Legal Defense Association, which
has been fighting on behalf of Christer and Annie Johansson, and their son Domenic.
“It is very concerning
that the Swedish court system has slammed the door on the Johanssons, but we
will not give up,” said Farris. “We are evaluating legal measures, but the
immediate need is to find a way to reunite this family as soon as possible. We
are exploring all options on how this could happen.”…..WND has reported
on the case from its beginning, when Domenic was seized by armed
Swedish police officers operating on the orders of social services agencies
from on board a Turkish Airlines flight June 25, 2009, because he was being
homeschooled.
He
was 7 at the time.
The
family was in the process of moving permanently to India, Annie’s home country,
but the armed officers were ordered to board the jet and seize the boy……To ReadMore….
My Take - I have been following this particular case from
the beginning. Everything the left says means something other than what appears
on the surface. Education is only a
secondary goal of public education. The
primary goal of public education by the left - from the 1890’s on in the U.S. -
has been to make sure ‘the apple falls as far away from the tree as possible’. Public education has been focused on
separating children from the moral authority of their parents- and the churches
- in order to make the state to be the
ultimate moral authority. That was being
successfully accomplished in Europe before the 20th century as a result it was
easy for Mussolini to declare that, "All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state"
To American's this seems completely irrational, until we
realize that this mentality has permeated American society as well. As Hillary
says; “It takes a village to raise a child". On the surface that seems
perfectly normal and rational, until we scratch that surface reasoning and realize what
people on the left like her really mean. It means the village elders....she and her
leftist friends.....will decide what the 'village' thinks, does and believes,
and any efforts by anyone to alter that will be met with the strongest possible
action by the …..Village….i.e. The State.
We need to come back to the basics. Our children do not belong to The State. God gave ‘people’ children, not The
State. It is the parent’s responsibility
to raise them up right, not The State.
We really do need to get that.
One more thing. I
have the tendency to post articles that may be seemingly unrelated, but
actually tout a theme. There is a post
regarding Madelyn Murray O’Hare’s son and his comments on the consequences of
his mother’s atheist movement and the impact on the nation. The underlying and unspoken goal of all of
these leftist movements is now and has always been singular. Eliminate God from America and you can then
separate Americans from the Constitution.
Why? Because the guarantees under
the Constitution are based on the concept that these are God given rights. If these rights are guaranteed by the
ultimate moral arbiter of the universe they can’t be stripped from Americans by
the Congress, the President or the Judiciary.
If that concept is destroyed then these rights can be supplanted by the
latest philosophical flavor of the day promoted by the left, including turning
the United Nations into a true world government. The only thing that stands in the way of that
goal is America’s free enterprise economy and the U.S. Constitution. Both under serious attack by the left since
the Roosevelt administration! That’s
Teddy Roosevelt by the way. We are now reaching
the climax of that 100 plus year struggle.
