In my case, I was politically incorrect because I was a dad. In the case of Elian, the anti-Castro folks were politically incorrect to the Administration and Castro is politically incorrect to the Republican Congress. In the whole mess, we somehow ended up with both sides advocating government primacy over the rights of parents. This is insane. People are born in many countries, under many forms of government.
People also have various forms of religion.
The primacy of the parent-child relationship must always come first and must be respected. With regard to Elian s interests, we forgot this. This is why his case escalated to the extent that it did. We need to recognize this fact within our own borders, too. Our children have a right to be raised by their parents, just as Elian does by his.
