"In every state, even in the midst of an ongoing CPS investigation, parents or guardians can withdraw their child from school to homeschool them. In 48 states, a parent can do this even if they’ve been convicted of a crime against a child."

Stephen Anderson is a child abuser. One of he and his wife's tactics of abuse was to withhold food. Of course he doesn't care if other people's children starve, he starves his own and calls it "christian discipline."

As the fascist right seeks to preside over US imperial decline in the midst of worsening ecological crisis with a regime of austerity and repression, puritanical christian sexual/family morality will be an important ideological tool for justifying the resulting mass immiseration and death

My favorite part of the Bible was when Jesus interrogated 5 year olds about their mother's sexual history before deeming them worthy of food.
Honey, far be it from me to explain your own religion to you, but there is no such thing as a bastard child for the Father is in heaven, isn't He?

Note that welfare programs are basically part of LDS and Quiverfull cultures. The Sister Wives family and the Duggars, before they got that reality TV money, were using government assistance to support their huge families. Hate those cultures but I *still* support all their kids having full bellies
