Seemed absurd to me. I'm tired of this whole Gonzales bs. It's a straight up parential rights case for me. As long as the child isn't abused the politicians and bureacrats should butt out. Same goes for N.Korea, Chile, Iraq, doesn't matter.
Parents have the right to raise their kid how and where they want to.
Your definitition has been out of fashion for quite a long time. Conservatives know that in an ideological struggle law is of no consequence at worst and an annoyance at best.

Those not well versed in American and contemporary history would not understand or get the wry humor in it all. And, yes, you can use that as a testimonial if it helps.
