Mother Loses Kids After Sending Daughter to School With Swastika Drawn on Arm

QUOTE
A Canadian woman who describes herself as a white nationalist lost custody of her children after sending her daughter to school twice with a swastika drawn on her arm, the CBC reported.

The Winnipeg mother told the CBC she regrets redrawing the Nazi symbol after a teacher scrubbed it off. She is fighting the child welfare system to regain custody of her daughter, 7, and son, 2, who were removed from her home four months ago.

"It was one of the stupidest things I've done in my life but it's no reason to take my kids," the unidentified woman told CBC News. She is currently allowed to see her kids for two hours a week.

Child and Family Services workers were alerted after the second swastika incident at school, the CBC reported. When they arrived at the family home they found neo-Nazi symbols and flags, and proceeded to seize the kids.

The case has sparked a debate over whether the police and child welfare authorities can take children away because of their parents’ beliefs.

"I'm willing to jump through their hoops," the woman told the CBC. "If they want me to deny my beliefs, I'll tell them that, but at the same time, I'm not a traitor to my politics, my beliefs. I just want my kids back."


This could be a very bad precedence set by the government. These people consider this to be a religion and if the government can come in because they don't like your religion your f'ckd.

Next up kids with crosses, star of david, yamikas.

BUT seriously wtf was she thinking?

Sadly, filling your child's head with bullshot that will farg him or her up for the rest of their life is not illegal.

However... what defines "bullshot that will farg him or her up for the rest of their life?"

That is the problem.

Did this happen in Canada? It states the woman is Canadian, so I don't know what the laws are up there about enforcing your beliefs on your kids.

Here in the states, it would be unconstitutional to take her kids away merely for that fact that she has radical political views. The school could have suspended or expelled her child for having the symbols on her arm, in which case the mother would then be responsible for either home-schooling her or coming to agreement with the school's policy on such symbols.

It is a Canadian story. Stuff like this is par for the course in other countries, where hate speech isn't protected.

Canada is more lax than the other countries usually.

Man, Germany's laws about hate speech are insanely strict. I wonder what would have happened if the mother had done this in Germany...

Canada, hell yeah!

In Australia I don't believe her children would be taken, unless it was shown that she was activley encouraging her children to commit violence against other races. Then she's just an unfit mother.

Teaching your kids that they're racially superior is fine by us, we don't care if they grow up to be douche. Just make them non-violent douches.

Sometimes I wonder about that... I go back and forth on it.

I think it's crap to take away a kid for this.

I can see "You can't come to school with a swastika." But not "You can't keep your kids cuz you're an ice hole."

Be a lot of orphans by that standard...

What P-C said so eloquently in just one line.

And not that I think there's any fear of the Canadian government taking kids because of the parents' religious beliefs anytime soon, but nazism/neo-nazism are those things that need to be opposed and controlled more intelligently than with methods like this. The bad precedent here is that your rights to raise your own children can be ignored purely because of your political beliefs.

As far as actually containing the nutball population of your country...

Way to put NAZIs on TV and give them a rallying point Canada!
