He believes that the only thing parents are allowed to do is house, clothe, and feed their children. Other than that, it's up to liberals to mandate what to teach them....IOW, If we raise our kids in a conservative household, with conservative values, religion, and morals, that to them is abuse.
Um, funny thing. Some kids are gay. All the screaming Bible verses at them in the world is not going to make them less gay. Trying to hide books with gay characters isn't going to make them less gay.
So, um, yeah, if you have a gay kid and you are trying to use religion to make him straight, um... that is abuse.
There are limitations in the respect where a parent puts the child’s life or health in danger. But, like I said these are extreme cases…The courts have generally taken these cases on a case by case basis…often resulting in abdicating to the parents wishes, unless the medical attention is life threatening….
Given how many gay teens in religious households take their own lives every year, how can this sort of thing not be abuse?
You obviously did not realize that it is a cautionary tale rather than an operating manual.
Actually, I considered it turgid prose, with characters who were frankly unlikeable. But millions of school children get it inflicted on them every year because school teachers are lazy.
