Tommorow for class I will be involved in a debate about an issue of free speech. Here's the skinny:
A man and a woman got divorced and split custody of their daughter. The man practices polygamy as a religion and wants to teach the 10-year-old daughter about polygamy. The mother doens't want the husband to talk to their daughter about polygamy and has issued a court order that forbids the husband to teach the kid about polygamy. This was upheld by the state Superior Court and will be tried by the Supreme Court.
Here is a quote from the husband, "Religous discussion in the home between parent and child has got to be the most sacred freedom of speech issues ever. There is no way we can allow governement to come into your home and interfere with that religous discussion," Stanely M. Shepp.
"perhaps one day in this great land discrimination agaisnt plural family life will fade, much as discrimination against other family lifestyles (homosexuals, cohabitation of married people. ect) have faded.
Discuss.
