  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Daughters are accomplished pianists who speak multiple languages, but aren't fans of hip-hop which upset the judge

A couple in Brazil have become the first parents in the country to be criminally convicted for homeschooling their children, sentenced to 50 days in prison after a judge ruled their curriculum failed to include state-approved content on gender, sexuality and cultural diversity.

Audato and Ieda Denardi were convicted of “intellectual neglect” by a lower court in São Paulo in April, according to the Christian legal advocacy group ADF International that is supporting the family’s appeal.

The sentencing judge found that the home education program for their daughters, aged 15 and 11, didn't include instruction on “gender and sex education” or “tolerance and diversity.”

The court also cited the girls’ musical tastes as evidence of cultural neglect. Because neither daughter expressed a liking for “trap,” an American hip-hop sub-genre popular in Brazil, or “sertanejo,” a Brazilian folk genre, the judge concluded the parents had failed to provide adequate cultural education.

The progressives want to do the same thing in the US. It is indeed insane. These kids are going to be deprived of their parents and forced to go to public school just because of an agenda. Is actually quite sad.

I'm seriously surprised... I thought Brazil had a HUGE Catholic population? The fact that the laws have turned so far away from that, is insane.
It does. Unfortunately, some have left the Church.

It seems like a common complaint against Christians who believe that people were created male and female, for monogamous marriages and bearing children ( like the Lord says in Mark 10 etc.) are obsessed about non heterosexual manifestations. Yet, when Christians just mind their own business, the totalitarian types are ready to prosecute and persecute.
