More from the office of dictator.

White House Office of Social Innovation and Civic Participation to Coordinate Efforts

Right from their own web page http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/President-Obama-to-Reque...

President Barack Obama, in his FY2010 budget, will ask Congress to provide $50 million in seed capital for the Social Innovation Fund to identify the most promising, results-oriented non-profit programs and expand their reach throughout the country.

Many solutions to our nation’s most challenging social problems are being generated outside of Washington; the Social Innovation Fund will identify what is working in communities across the country, provide growth capital for these programs, and improve the use of data and evaluation to raise the bar on what programs the government funds.

"The idea is simple: to find the most effective programs out there and then provide the capital needed to replicate their success in communities around the country that are facing similar challenges," First Lady Michelle Obama will say Tuesday at the Time 100 Most Influential People Awards in New York City, according to her prepared remarks. "By focusing on high-impact, result-oriented non-profits, we will ensure that government dollars are spent in a way that is effective, accountable and worthy of the public trust."

Melody Barnes, Assistant to the President and Director of the Domestic Policy Council, also highlighted the Fund Tuesday in a keynote speech to the Council on Foundations. "The Social Innovation Fund reflects the President’s new governing philosophy: finding and investing in what works; and partnering with and supporting others who are leading change in their communities," Barnes said. "We are also working with Federal agencies across the government to identify new solutions to problems that have resisted traditional approaches."

The Social Innovation Fund was authorized in the recent Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act. The Fund will focus on priority policy areas, including education, health care, and economic opportunity. It will partner with foundations, philanthropists, and corporations which will commit matching resources, funding, and technical assistance.

The White House Office of Social Innovation and Civic Participation will coordinate efforts to enlist all Americans –individuals, non-profits, social entrepreneurs, corporations and foundations – as partners in solving our great challenges. Located within the Domestic Policy Council, it will:

* Catalyze partnerships between the government and nonprofits, businesses and philanthropists in order to make progress on the President’s policy agenda
* Identify and support the rigorous evaluation and scaling of innovative, promising ideas that are transforming communities like, for example, Harlem Children’s Zone, YouthVillages, Nurse-Family Partnership, and Citizen Schools.
* Support greater civic participation through new media tools
* Promote national service.


Mrs. Obama’s full remarks at the Time 100 Most Influential People Awards in New York City will be released later in the day.

World's Elite Make Population Control #1 Priority

http://www.lifesitenews.com/

Even though recent demographic study has revealed a great looming threat of demographic winter, the richest of the rich seem to believe that overpopulation is the top priority for their philanthropic endeavors. John Harlow writes today in The Times about a secret meeting of the global financial elite, convened by Microsoft mogul Bill Gates, at which attendees agreed that curbing the world's population should be their top priority.

In "Billionaire club in bid to curb overpopulation," Harlow recounts that a May 5 meeting took place in Manhattan that included "David Rockefeller Jr, the patriarch of America's wealthiest dynasty, Warren Buffett and George Soros, the financiers, Michael Bloomberg, the mayor of New York, and the media moguls Ted Turner and Oprah Winfrey." Harlow notes that the general agreement that population control was a major priority came at Gates' instigation.

Gates' enthusiasm for population control comes as no surprise since he has himself admitted to being strongly influenced by the views of Thomas Malthus, the fear-mongering overpopulation guru of the late 18th century. He has also admitted that his father headed a local Planned Parenthood while he was growing up.

Of note, The Times reports that at the secret meeting, participants "discussed joining forces to overcome political and religious obstacles to change."

The Times paraphrased the account given by one attendee of the secret meeting who spoke anonymously, saying, "a consensus emerged that they would back a strategy in which population growth would be tackled as a potentially disastrous environmental, social and industrial threat."

"This is something so nightmarish that everyone in this group agreed it needs big-brain answers," said the guest. "They need to be independent of government agencies, which are unable to head off the disaster we all see looming." In answer to a question about the secrecy, the guest replied, "They wanted to speak rich to rich without worrying anything they said would end up in the newspapers, painting them as an alternative world government."

In sharp contrast to the ideas of the billionaires, a recent film containing the views of some prominent demographers has sounded the alarm on underpopulation rather than overpopulation. Promoting the film 'Demographic Winter' at a recent event, celebrated columnist Don Feder said that the demographic problem of worldwide declining birthrates "could result in the greatest crisis humanity will confront in this century" as "all over the world, children are disappearing."

Feder noted, "In 30 years, worldwide, birth rates have fallen by more than 50%. In 1979, the average woman on this planet had 6 children. Today, the average is 2.9 children, and falling." He explained the situation noting, "demographers tell us that with a birthrate of 1.3, everything else being equal, a nation will lose half of its population every 45 years."

I have a "big-brain" answer for Gates and others like him:

NO!

Many actions and plans of the so-called PARTY-ELITE are definitely socialism and communism, but there is also some ugly FASCISM emerging! The "big-brain" answer to all of these things is:

NO!

PRISON CELLS await many, and they can practice their "big-brain" answers from behind bars. After all, this is where criminals and traitors go!

Martial law now demanded in this U.S. state ...

NAACP to governor: Declare martial law
'It's time for some real action'

An NAACP official has demanded the governor of Pennsylvania call out the National Guard, suspend civil liberties and impose martial law to deal with a recent wave of shootings.

Stanley Lawson, president of the Harrisburg Chapter of the NAACP, urged Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell deploy the National Guard for at least one month and enforce a curfew after more than a dozen shootings rocked the city, according to the Patriot News.

Many of the shots were fired during daylight hours, and one man was killed at a busy intersection in the middle of the afternoon June 24.

"The Guard is for floods and natural disasters. I don't know any more of a natural disaster than of our young people being killed," he said at a meeting at Capitol Presbyterian Church.

"It's time for some real action," he said. "Right now the important thing is to stop this madness."

"We're beyond what the Harrisburg police department can do. We need help," Lawson said.

According to the report, Lawson referenced the 1968 race riots following the assassination of Rev. Martin Luther King in Memphis, Tenn. And the subsequent deployment of National Guard troops.

Rather than drugs, robberies and gang activity, Lawson said the shootings were most likely due to fear.

"The young men, it's fear, it's just fear," he said. "They think: 'I'm going to get them before they get me.'"

But Gov. Rendell's office told WND calling out the National Guard and imposing martial law – a system where military rule overrides civil law in times of war or emergency – is not an option.

"That action is not currently on the table," said spokesman Chuck Ardo. "The governor has ordered the state police to increase patrols in the City of Harrisburg and to work with the city police in whatever way they deem necessary."

Harrisburg Chapter NAACP President Stanley Lawson did not respond to WND's requests for comment about the governor's refusal to impose martial law.

In addition to bringing in support from state police, the city stepped up law enforcement presence, and the mayor asked officers to work overtime.

Members of the "Guardian Angels," unarmed civilians trained in self-defense, came from York to help Harrisburg residents create their own civilian force, the Patriot News reported.

Police officers have also rounded up many citizens with outstanding warrants.

Ardo told WND conditions are improving but that part of the problem lies in the number of firearms on the streets.

"The situation seems to be much more calm at the moment," he said. "Given the number of guns on the streets and violence that seems to follow, there are continued concerns."

Attorney Stanley Mitchell told the Patriot News that the local NAACP chapter is asking for a short suspension of some civil rights, but he added: "We have the civil rights not to be shot."

Criminals with guns on the street is the problem - NOT law-abiding citizens with guns. This DISTINCTION must be made.

Martial Law for this situation is gross overkill. We must also consider that Martial Law can be ABUSED AND MISUSED by TYRANTS who want to CONTROL THE PEOPLE AND REMOVE THEIR FREEDOMS. There ARE and SHOULD BE heavy Constitutional RESTRAINTS in the use of Martial Law!

ACLU Threatens Lawsuit After Wisconsin Police Seize Man's Upside-Down American Flag

An American flag flown upside down as a protest in a northern Wisconsin village was seized by police before a Fourth of July parade and the businessman who flew it — an Iraq war veteran — claims the officers trespassed and stole his property.

A day after the parade, police returned the flag and the man's protest — over a liquor license — continued.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin is considering legal action against the village of Crivitz for violating Vito Congine Jr.'s' First Amendment rights, Executive Director Chris Ahmuty said.

"It is not often that you see something this blatant," Ahmuty said.

In mid-June, Congine, 46, began flying the flag upside down — an accepted way to signal distress — outside the restaurant he wants to open in Crivitz, a village of about 1,000 people some 65 miles north of Green Bay.

He said his distress is likely bankruptcy because the village board refused to grant him a liquor license after he spent nearly $200,000 to buy and remodel a downtown building for an Italian supper club.

Congine's upside-down-flag represents distress to him; to others in town, it represents disrespect of the flag.

Hours before a Fourth of July parade, four police officers went to Congine's property and removed the flag under the advice of Marinette County District Attorney Allen Brey.

Neighbor Steven Klein watched in disbelief.

"I said, 'What are you doing?' Klein said. "They said, 'It is none of your business."'

The next day, police returned the flag.

Brey declined comment Friday.

Marinette County Sheriff Jim Kanikula said it was not illegal to fly the flag upside down but people were upset and it was the Fourth of July.

"It is illegal to cause a disruption," he said.

The parade went on without any problems, Kanikula said.

Village President John Deschane, 60, an Army veteran who served in Vietnam, said many people in town believe it's disrespectful to fly the flag upside down.

"If he wants to protest, let him protest but find a different way to do it," Deschane said.

Congine, a Marine veteran who served in Iraq in 2004, said he intends to keep flying the flag upside down.

"It is pretty bad when I go and fight a tyrannical government somewhere else," Congine said, "and then I come home to find it right here at my front door."

Rep. Alcee Hastings - the impeached Florida judge Nancy Pelosi tried to install as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee until her own party members rebelled - introduced an amendment to the defense authorization bill that gives Attorney General Eric Holder sole discretion to label groups that oppose government policy on guns, abortion, immigration, states’ rights, or a host of other issues. In a June 25 speech on the House floor, Rep. Trent Franks, R-AZ, blasted the idea: “This sounds an alarm for many of us because of the recent shocking and offensive report released by the Department of Homeland Security which labeled, arguably, a majority of Americans as ‘extremists.’”

Another Hastings bill (HR 645) authorizes $360 million in 2009 and 2010 to set up “not fewer than six national emergency centers on military installations” capable of housing “a large number of individuals affected by an emergency or major disaster.” But Section 2 (b) 4 allows the Secretary of Homeland Security to use the camps “to meet other appropriate needs” - none of which are specified. This is the kind of blank check that Congress should never, ever sign.
It’s not paranoid to be extremely wary of legislation that would give two unelected government officials power to legally declare someone a “domestic terrorist” and send them to a government-run camp.

Everyone with eyes and ears should be able to see where the communist gang of usurpers, criminals, and pretenders want to go and what they want to do. If all of this were happening just a few short years ago, they would ALL already be in prison or awaiting the death penalty for TREASON. Who knows - maybe the system will still work and they will all get what they have richly earned. If not - CHRIST will mete out JUSTICE to the survivors at HIS SECOND COMING!

Open borders critics report cyber attack
'We are seeing orchestrated pattern of censorship'
Posted: August 22, 2009
12:45 am Eastern

© 2009 WorldNetDaily

An organization critical of plans percolating in Washington, D.C., to create amnesty for the tens of millions of illegal aliens estimated to be in the United States now is reporting a cyber attack it describes as both targeted and orchestrated.

"Google's own software admits we have no viruses or malware on our site," said William Gheen of ALIPAC. "The readings indicate that Google scanned our site on the 19th and we were clean and now they are arbitrarily blocking us for the second time this week. Our technicians tell us our site is clean and Google will not offer us any explanation or assistance despite multiple attempts to reach out to them."

The organization said its tens of thousands of pages of archived evidence on the issue of open borders and amnesty were being flagged as containing software viruses.

Gheen told WND the warning flags were on, then off, then reinstalled before being taken off just a short time ago. Then they reappeared later, warning that the site had been identifed as an "attack site."

As a result, the organization issued an emergency alert to its thousands of supporters.

"Public access to the extensive information archived by ALIPAC over the last five years has been blocked on Google, by Firefox web browsers, and on Twitter! ALIPAC.us is not infected and is safe to use," the statement said.

"ALIPAC is now declaring an emergency and making the claim that the blocking of alipac.us is politically motivated and involves wrongful acts by Google employees or the broader influences within the Google corporation."

A message WND left with Google requesting comment did not generate a response.

But ALIPAC officials said other major online virus protection services concluded the website was not infected.

Internet users are alarmed by such warnings and very seldom override the warning to continue to the targeted websites, officials said.

ALIPAC noted Google Chief Executive Eric Schmidt is a member of President Obama's campaign committee, and Obama just this week held a White House meeting of pro-amnesty interests to discuss a bill that is expected to be introduced in Congress soon.

"We are seeing a clear and orchestrated pattern of censorship across American emanating from the Obama administration and the open borders lobby that plans to launch new amnesty legislation within two weeks," said Gheen.

"We need everyone to fight back and speak out while they can," he said. "Google is the most powerful site on the web, but they can be bypassed and defeated."

Gheen told WND his own computer experts had examined the website and found no infection.

"They're basically bashing our reputation on the web," he told WND.

This is DIRTY and just what you would expect in a communist country with a tyrant running it. There will be a BACKLASH and the RESULTS will be the OPPOSITE of what the TYRANTS WANT! No company is too big to be boycotted and run out of business, and that includes Google and any other company that wants to shut down free speech. Further, NOT ONE OF THE POLITICIANS, REGARDLESS OF OFFICE, ARE ABOVE THE LAW AND THE CONSTITUTION! All of the politicians need to start checking what they are doing to see if it's legal and Constitutional. This certainly includes the attempt to force communist style healthcare, the extortion of cap and trade, invasion of privacy of citizens, maintaining dossiers on innocent citizens, and DENYING RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS THAT ARE GUARANTEED BY LAW AND THE CONSTITUTION!

Regarding ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, our government is guilty of GROSS DERELICTION OF DUTY! Our laws are being BROKEN and the people are being endangered because our government is NOT doing its DUTY for the people. THEY CAN AND SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE! It is NOT a matter of choice on whether to ENFORCE our Laws or not. Further, the PEOPLE are NOT going to pay the bills for the illegal aliens. We have our own bills that we are struggling to pay, and the illegal aliens MUST be SENT HOME. Mexico and Central America can pay their own bills. There are CRIMINAL AND CIVIL REMEDIES for public servants who refuse to do their jobs for the public. One of their choices IS NOT ignoring them and trying to make the citizens pay their bills. This is NOT AN OPTION! The ONLY OPTION is to ENFORCE THE LAWS OF THE PEOPLE. This would mean securing the borders and deporting all illegal aliens. Employing illegal aliens is ALSO NOT AN OPTION because this is against our laws. There is NO DEBATE OR CHOICE. THE ONLY BILL ASSOCIATED WITH ILLEGAL ALIENS THAT THE PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO PAY IS HAVING THEM DEPORTED! THE PEOPLE ARE ALSO WILLING TO PAY FOR THE PROSECUTION AND INCARCERATION OF CORRUPT PUBLIC SERVANTS VIOLATING MANY LAWS REGARDING ILLEGAL ALIENS. THIS IS NOT AN OPTION FOR ANYONE. THE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN PATIENT TOO LONG. WE NEED TO START PUTTING CORRUPT PUBLIC SERVANTS IN PRISON!

College kids recruited to join Obama's 'army'
Earn credit for pushing 'change,' working on president's 'agenda'

President Obama's army of citizen volunteers is now actively recruiting college students in states across the country to "build support for President Obama's agenda" – and earn college credit while advocating for "change."

Obama for America, Obama's 2008 political campaign, merged with the Democratic National Committee in January and is now known as Organizing for America, or OFA. The movement some call "Obama 2.0" is now recruiting students and offering to provide credits toward degree plans in exchange for their advocacy skills.

A message from OFA national volunteer coordinators announcing the recruitment campaign and internship opportunities has been posted on several websites and on Facebook.

"Students and young people were critical in building the movement that helped elect President Obama last year. By becoming a National Organizing Intern, you'll be part of the grassroots effort to make the change we fought for a reality in 2009 and beyond," it states. "As an Organizing Intern, you'll work side by side with OFA staff and community leaders to help build support for President Obama's agenda. You'll learn core organizing principles that are crucial for any campaign and play an important role in building our organization in your state."

The announcement continues, "President Obama describes his time as a community organizer by saying: 'It was the best education I ever had, because I learned in those neighborhoods that when ordinary people come together, they can achieve extraordinary things.'

"This is your chance to get that same education.

"If you're passionate about making sure every American has quality health care, reviving our economy, and building a clean energy future, don't miss this great opportunity. No previous experience is needed in order to apply."

The group's website declares: "Organizing for America, the successor organization to Obama for America, is empowering students across the country to build on the movement that elected President Obama and help bring about his vision for change."

Volunteers must commit to working at least 12 hours a week from Sept. 1 to Dec. 11 and, according to the OFA website, may receive college credit from their schools for doing so.

The Omaha World-Herald reported that OFA workers have been knocking on doors and making phone calls in Iowa and Nebraska to garner support for Obama's health care initiative.

"It is the first time in recent memory that a presidential candidate has maintained an active, grassroots presence in either state after an election," the newspaper reported.

"Iowa has almost nonstop presidential activity," said Norm Sterzenbach, executive director of the Iowa Democratic Party. "But the idea of having a sitting president continuing an organization is fairly unusual."

According to the Washington Post, Obama used the same standing political army earlier this year to gather signatures in support of his economic plan. The president asked his supporters to go "block by block and door by door" in every state.

In March, when volunteers canvassed high-traffic locations in Birmingham, Ala., to support Obama's health care, education and energy policies, one event organizer told the Birmingham News, "We are looking for supporters. We're not looking for a fight. That will come later, when we have an army."

In an Aug. 5 e-mail, Obama once again urged his supporters to help him gain support for his health care plan:

… Organizing for America is putting together thousands of events this month where you can reach out to neighbors, show your support, and make certain your members of Congress know that you're counting on them to act.

But these canvasses, town halls, and gatherings only make a difference if you turn up to knock on doors, share your views, and show your support.

Democratic National Committee spokesman Michael Czin said in July that OFA has hired staff in 38 states and intends to expand to all 50 states. OFA announced that it has organized 1,906 local events in all 50 states – from press conferences to community discussions – since it launched its health care campaign in June.

As WND reported, Obama has been accused of "planting" OFA volunteers and supporters at many of his recent town hall forums so they may ask pre-selected questions. The White House insists that attendees are selected at random, but a closer look reveals many questioners range from Obama campaign donors and Organizing for America volunteers to single-payer health care lobbyists and Service Employees International Union members.

According to New Hampshire's DMUR 9 News, Obama health care supporters, including OFA members, are being driven to town hall meetings by the busload:

One citizen filmed a crowd of activists at a recent town hall meeting. Each attendee held a printed placard promoting health "reform" and addressing numerous "myths" and "facts" about Obama's plan. Asked where she got the sign, a woman said, "Organizing for America. We're a grass-roots organization and proud of it."

Other town hall attendees have reported seeing volunteers handing out pre-printed fliers and posters from OFA.

WND also reported that help wanted ads are appearing on Craigslist that offer to pay citizens between $9 and $16 an hour to lobby for the passage of Obama's health care. One Sacramento Craig's List ad declares, "Help pass Obama's health care reform! Earn $325-$550 per week!"

Another Craigslist ad in San Francisco invited prospective applicants to "join motivated staff around the country working to make change happen."

The same ad ran in the Craigslist Washington, D.C., section. Similar ads were posted in Minneapolis, Minn., and Columbus, Ohio, sections.

Organizing for America is also calling on Obama supporters to show up at local representatives' offices to show support for health reform.

"As you've probably seen in the news, special interest attack groups are stirring up partisan mobs with lies about health reform, and it's getting ugly," a letter from Organizing for America states. "Across the country, members of Congress who support reform are being shouted down, physically assaulted, hung in effigy, and receiving death threats. We can't let extremists hijack this debate, or confuse Congress about where the people stand."

The group even offers to provide "information to drop off about how the health care crisis affects your state (with the option of adding your personal story)" and "a step-by-step guide" for pushing health "reform" at district offices.

That graphic is a keeper - consider it snagged. Thanks Brother Jerry.

Brother Roger, the recruiting for COMMUNIST indoctrination of our young people is deeply disturbing. We are watching an all-out effort to transform America into a COMMUNIST country. This is not a wild conspiracy theory because we are watching the attempt before our very eyes. All the people need to do is LOOK, LISTEN, and WATCH with an effort to understand the goals. It doesn't take much effort or intelligence to see that the current administration is feeding the public a PACK OF LIES in an attempt to gain TOTAL POWER AND CONTROL. Those who want to preserve a FREE COUNTRY are the opposition to this administration. The RULE OF LAW AND THE CONSTITUTION are being trampled under foot as a general method of operation. A variety of serious CRIMINAL AND CIVIL VIOLATIONS are common and seemingly ignored.

The AGENDA of this administration CAN'T be accomplished in a LEGAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL WAY! The RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OF THE PEOPLE means nothing! In fact, RIGHTS and FREEDOMS stand as an obstacle to the AGENDA. This administration wants to DICTATE - NOT serve under the LAW AND THE CONSTITUTION! Reading the proposed BILLS of this administration tells the entire story for anyone willing to spend the time and effort to read them. It's all POWER to the GOVERNMENT - DICTATION BY THE GOVERNMENT - massive INCREASE in the SIZE OF THE GOVERNMENT - REMOVAL OF STATE'S RIGHTS AND SOVEREIGNTY - REMOVAL OF INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS AND LIBERTIES GUARANTEED BY LAW AND THE CONSTITUTION - AND GENERALLY AN END TO FREEDOM WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN ALL-POWERFUL, TYRANNICAL FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. THE ANSWER FROM A FREE PEOPLE MUST BE NO! THE ANSWER FROM THE STATES MUST BE NO! THE ANSWER TO GLOBAL GOVERNMENT AND THE U.N. MUST BE NO! THE ANSWER TO ANY FORM OF FOREIGN CONTROL MUST BE NO! THE ANSWER TO GLOBAL CURRENCY MUST BE NO! ALL OF THESE THINGS REPRESENT AN END TO FREEDOM!

WE THE PEOPLE ARE IN CHARGE! Our government is our SERVANT - NOT OUR MASTER! WE THE PEOPLE are FREE and we are DETERMINED TO STAY FREE! When our representatives VIOLATE OUR LAWS AND CONSTITUTIONS, they are to be CHARGED, and it's time to do just that! WE THE PEOPLE DEMAND THAT OUR LAWS AND CONSTITUTIONS BE ENFORCED. This currently means many so-called representatives being removed from office and/or charged with a variety of CRIMINAL OFFENSES. Our government has NO CHOICE but to enforce our LAWS AND CONSTITUTIONS. This is NOT a matter of CHOICE OR DEBATE! Enforcement of our LAWS AND CONSTITUTIONS would mean many things, INCLUDING THE DEPORTATION OF ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS AND THE SECURING OF OUR BORDERS! IT WOULD CERTAINLY INCLUDE AN END OF ALL ATTEMPTS TO VIOLATE THE RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OF CITIZENS - AND THE RIGHTS AND SOVEREIGNTY OF EACH INDIVIDUAL STATE! A rude reminder must be given that the power of the Federal Government is at the BOTTOM - NOT THE TOP! The Federal Government is a SERVANT TO THE STATES, and the STATES ARE A SERVANT TO THE PEOPLE! Reminder in terms of POWER:  1)  THE PEOPLE - TOP AND FIRST;  2)  THE STATES SECOND - A SERVANT TO THE PEOPLE;  3)  the federal government - LAST AND BOTTOM - A SERVANT TO THE STATES! This is our FORM OF GOVERNMENT - BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE! - A FREE PEOPLE! - A FREE COUNTRY! WE THE PEOPLE WILL NOT TOLERATE TYRANNY! THOSE WHO WANT TO LIVE IN AN ENSLAVED COUNTRY NEED TO MOVE TO RED CHINA, NORTH KOREA, OR SOME OTHER COUNTRY WHERE FREEDOM HAS ALREADY BEEN REMOVED!

New Hampshire Court orders Christian homeschooled girl to attend public school

A Christian homeschool girl in New Hampshire has been ordered into government-run public school for having "sincerely held" religious beliefs.

An attorney working with the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) has filed motions with a New Hampshire court, asking it to reconsider its order to send the 10-year-old homeschooled girl into public school.
 
According to ADF allied attorney John Anthony Simmons, the court acknowledges that the girl in question is doing well socially and academically, but he adds that the court went too far when they determined that the girl's Christian faith was a "bit too sincerely held and must be sifted, tested by, and mixed among other worldviews."

Simmons contends that parents have a "fundamental right to make educational choices for their children." However, the girl's parents divorced in 1999, and she is now living with her mother who has been homeschooling the child since first grade. As part of the schooling, the young girl has been attending supplemental public school classes.
 
As part of parental custody hearings, a court-appointed guardian stated that the child reflected her mother's "rigidity" on questions of faith and added that girl's best interest would be served by exposure to a public school setting.
 
According to the New Hampshire Supreme Court, home-based education is an enduring American tradition and right. ADF concludes, based on that statement, that there is no legitimate legal basis for this latest court ruling.
 
OneNewsNow has contacted ADF attorney Simmons for further comment and is awaiting a response.
