She refused to attend, and her kids were taken away until she complied.
She should have just sucked it up, IMO.
She didnt have to convert or anything. Just smile and nod, check the box, and go about her business.
Odd time to take the moral high ground, with her kids at stake.
Agree, disagree?
I agree and disagree. For this specific woman yes shutting up and going along with it probably would of served best. BUT it also sets a precedent. I don't like religion being forced on anyone and this is what it sounds like. She had to complete these classes, and the woman running the classes took a religious approach. Which more or less sounds like saying she had to embrace religious attitudes in order to get her kids back.
Don't get me wrong I think people SHOULD have to go to parenting classes, as a mandatory thing before they even pop out a damn child, but I don't think said classes should be religious.

I dont think they should be either, but i cant assume the judge knew about the class' religious minded instructor.
The right move might have been to request a different class, if it was that big a deal to her.
The article makes it seem like she didnt try that. Now, if she did thats a whole different thing.
I don't think she'd have the option to switch a court ordered class. For this woman personally shutting up would of been a good thing, but overall it sets a bad example.
On the other hand there is a chance she could indeed just be doing this for her 15 minutes of fame. Being a victim is "in" right now.

Right, yes, but, when (as a parent) i think of things parents sacrifice for their kids, sitting through a class you dont agree with ranks ranks pretty low.
