[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What annoyed me more than the oppression of women and such was that when they wanted out that NY courts did not assist. They wanted the children of divorce to stay in the same environment. That's insane. It's like telling the kids of two abusive parents that since it's all they've known that they need to keep being abused.

The city and the state seemed to be failing this society. And how do they get around minimum schooling requirements?[/quote]

This I agree with. We have a struggle in our country between individual rights and the rights of parents and religious freedom. I think it is a big problem that we don't consider it a RIGHT for children to know their first amendment rights, their rights to a free, secular education, and any other rights that their parents are withholding from them.

As for the schooling requirements, they are going to school. It's just purely religious instruction. We have no basic national standards in this country.[/quote]

But arent their state standards for schooling? I had to pass exams and state tests every 3 years of so. I also had to have math, English, science, history and a foreign language to graduate. I believe the boy on there couldn't do basic math and he was over 20. I went to a private Christian school, so I do understand religious teaching, but how can the state let that be all there is?

Also, I was wondering what jobs the men got? I understand the welfare fraud but the men seem to have jobs and I don't know how they could get any jobs as they're uneducated. [/quote]
