American Taliban Judge

This is why we have the filibuster in the Senate. This is why we block nominations.

This judge is out of his fucking mind and needs to be removed from the court.

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.

...

"There is a discrepancy between Ms. Jones and Mr. Jones' lifestyle and the belief system adhered to by the parochial school. . . . Ms. Jones and Mr. Jones display little insight into the confusion these divergent belief systems will have upon (the boy) as he ages," the bureau said in its report.
Just to be clear. The judge is ORDERING both parents to not practice their religion with involvment of their child. This is not one parent fighting the other in a custody suit. This is a bat-shit crazy judge telling the parents how to raise their child.

And we creep ever closer to the theocratic America...
