Dad Challenging ‘Manipulation’ of Kids

“Their little minds should not be the battleground for culture wars”

A http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=2160 will be appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn his case because of the “national significance” of the precedent.

“[Unless the case is overturned, of the parents if need be,” David Parker told WND.

He and his lawyers, of Denner Pellegrino LLP in Boston, recently confirmed they will be seeking permission to submit the dispute to the U.S. Supreme http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=644, following an appeals court decision that, as Parker described, allows the “indoctrination” of small children.

“The teachers do not have a constitutional right to do that,” he told WND. “That, to me, is the crux of this.”He said the ruling from the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals essentially concluded that it is no burden on parents’ free exercise of religion to have their children taught ideas at a public school that violate the parents’ religious teachings.

“They can just teach the children at home,” Parker said the court found regarding parents.
