Imagine living in a society which, although claiming to be free, is able to dictate how and where to raise your children. Now imagine that this society is right here in Canada – a country reputed to be among the best in the world according to the United Nations.
For one Québec family, this has sadly become a way of life. They were forced to place their two older children into a public school last year, with the judge citing “a need for more socialization” as to why they should be ripped away from their family and essentially raised by the state.
What’s even worse is that a judge has now ordered them to place their two younger children into state-run subsidized daycare. Apparently one of the children is speech delayed and they are blaming it on the fact that this child is being “isolated.” There are no allegations of abuse or neglect against his family – so what right do they have to remove the older children and force them into school, then take the younger children (whom are not even school-aged) and forced him into daycare?
I’m sure that there are thousands of Québec children, not yet in school, with speech delays and I’m willing to bet that they are not being forced to place their children in daycare.
I grew up in Québec, south of Montréal, and I am ashamed to say that I have lived in a society with such intolerance for varying views. There is no doubt in my mind, that if I had remained in Québec to raise my children, I would be on schooling under the proverbial table in order to stay out of the government’s overzealous radar.
Judge orders kids into state-run daycare.
Parents slam forced daycare as’ witch hunt.’
What would you do in this situation?
