What do you think of this?

Update:

I understand it would be a dangerous precedent to remove children ONLY because of a name and ideology, and I passionately agree it would be a dangerous precedent. (I understand it's more than just ideology/name in this case.) So, why does my whole being just want to scream that no child should have to live with parents that think like that, even if there were no abuse?

    I think that they have demonstrated repeatedly that they are not capable of putting a child's needs above their own white supremest agenda.

    They have demonstrated repeatedly that they are unfit parents.

    Judging by the name chosen for this newborn, nothing has changed. They have not learned anything from years of social service intervention, and if the child is left with them, you can guarantee a lifetime of white supremest bs, and social ostracization - just like the older siblings.

    I think its probably in this child's best interest to go to a loving home with mature responsible adults instead of being left to these despictable people. Sometimes, in cases like this, remaining with the family of origin isn't in the child's best interests.

    It's very very sad that these people keep birthing children when it seems they don't have any consideration to how they are ruining their children's lives.

    If the children (including the newborn) have been removed due to violence/abuse in the home, the political views of the parents are irrelevant - the children needed to be removed.

    If the children were removed solely due to the names given to them and the (absolutely hateful) views their parents hold, then I feel this would just be setting a dangerous precedent for the potential removal of any child whose parents don't conform to society's mainstream.

    Although I don't agree with these people's political agenda, I don't think their children should be removed from their care JUST for that reason. The article states that there was violence in the home -- thus the reason for the kids being placed in foster care. If that is true, then yes, the kids are probably better off elsewhere.

    I hate the kids' names and I hate what the names stand for, but that's no reason to take kids away from their parents.
