Conservative Moron of the Week - ‘Activist Judge’ Edition
Local judge ignores Constitution, choosing instead to force his religion on someone:
An Indianapolis father is appealing a Marion County judge’s unusual order that prohibits him and his ex-wife from exposing their child to “non-mainstream religious beliefs and rituals.”
The parents practice Wicca, a contemporary pagan religion that emphasizes a balance in nature and reverence for the earth.
Cale J. Bradford, chief judge of the Marion Superior Court, kept the unusual provision in the couple’s divorce decree last year over their fierce objections, court records show. The order does not define a mainstream religion. - Indianapolis Star
Can you imagine if a judge had imposed a similar but opposite restriction on a Christian family that forced them to keep their kid out of a Baptist church?
Not only would Fox News pundits be screaming bloody murder about ‘activist judges’ and attacks on Christianity, but every politician from the local county supervisor to the President would be calling on this judge to step down.
But no one is really raising a fuss about it, which says a lot about how much many people value ‘religous freedom’ when it isn’t their own religion that needs defending.
