All Parents, not just the religious, but all parents who are tired of the state and government interfering it their rights to raise their children as they see fit. The case of the girl in Texas who was taken from her parents because they wanted to pursue a different course of treatment for their daughter.
Parents believe it is their right as to what their child learns in school and that includes sex education, etc. I am a firm believer in Parent's rights and any parent in this country has the right to educate their child as they see fit...
