"But, to a Christian or a Muslim - a gay parent would be just as "wrong and dangerous" in their lifestyle. " But gay people and Muslims aren't creating concentration camps to murder millions of people. Sure, people don't like those beliefs, but Nazism and what the swastika represent are totally different. The swastika is such a symbol of evil that in Europe, where people suffered under the Nazis, it is actually against the law to display it in any way. To have a house full of it is just bizarre. And that mother must be either stupid or totally clueless. How idiotic to send a child to school with a swastika on her arm, and then to put it on again after the teacher wipes it off! Is that mother so stupid that she doesn't realize what a symbol of hatred and death it is? Maybe she should have had her kids taken away for being so out of touch with the real world! But seriously, I don't know if it was right to take the kids away. But I still maintain that it's totally apples and oranges to compare Nazism and white supremacy to homosexuality, Islam, Hindusim, or any other belief system, unless that other belief system is responsible for torturing and killing millions of people simply because of their religion, national origin, ethnicity, etc. As for saying, as some have, well, just let the kids alone and wait till a Jewish kid (or whatever) bops them on the nose, what if the child is smarter than her mother, and knows that Nazism is not something you go around expressing, but she decides to act on her neo-Nazi beliefs in private, like destroying a Jewish person's property at night, or painting swastikas on synogogues? This happens all the time. The people who do it knows it's illegal and they don't want to get caught, so that's why they do it in a way that they won't get found out. And I don't know that it's a good idea these kids to be left with the parent to grow up and have her screwed-up ideas become entrenched in their young minds. Sure, maybe they'll grow up to rebel against Nazism... but I think there's a greater chance that these young children will take on the beliefs that their parents drum into their heads.

here, here. very true

The United States Supreme Court has ruled that children cannot be taken away simply because of what their parents believe. It is when those beliefs do harm to the child or to others that they can then be taken away. As was recently demonstrated in the child custody case, in Texas, of the Mormon’s who believe in polygamy. Over 400 children were taken by Child Protective Services. The Texas courts ruled that they had to give the children back because CPS could not prove that all the children were in danger. My own belief is that children should be protected by society. However, I also feel that we cannot impose our own beliefs upon others.
