Canada to Parents: Thou Shalt Not Honor Thy Father and Mother

In a very disturbing case, a 12 year old girl took her father to court questioning his decision to ground her from a school trip for chatting on sites he didn’t approve of and for posting inappropriate photos of herself on the net. And, in an even more disturbing twist, the court sided with the girl and negated the father’s punishment! The judge thought the punishment was too severe. First, a Catholic priest is taken to court for stating the Church’s position on homosexual acts and now this. What are the Canadians smoking?

    Hobbit,

    I agree. I will not be visiting Canada anytime in the near future, and this is a big part of the reason. I don’t want to attend a parish where a priest is speaking out against something and have to be a witness at some silly kangaroo court tribunal (I say this partially joking, but partially knowing that in Canada these days what seems like pure silliness is becoming reality)!
