A website supporting a Swedish family whose son was taken into custody by social-services agents almost exactly one year ago says the court case over the dispute now is being rushed before a human-rights activist can be restored to the case.

The right photo, obtained by the Dominic Johansson website, shows a "not-so-thriving Dominic" some months after he was forcibly placed in the Swedish foster-care system.
The report comes from the DomenicJohansson.com website backing the family of Christer and Annie Johansson and their son.
"Close observers of the Johansson state-sponsored 'kidnapping' case believe the Visby Social Board is pushing Swedish courts to fast-track a new series of court challenges in an effort to have the cases quashed long before Ruby Harrold-Claesson wins her way back as counsel to Dominic's parents," the new report on the website states.
It also has posted a photographic comparison of the boy shortly before he was taken into custody by police and several months after he was placed in foster care under government orders.
"June 25, 2010, marks the one-year anniversary of the violent seizure of the … child," the report states. "So traumatized was Dominic by the acts of armed police on behalf of the Visby Social Services board, witnesses tell us he vomited during and shortly after the shocking scene when uniformed Swedish police stormed an India-bound jetliner just moments before takeoff."
The family was in the process of emigrating to India, Annie's home country, at the time.

Public schoolers: How's that indoctrination workin' out?

If you read the sobering history of public schools, it becomes painfully clear that their purpose is not (necessarily) education; it's social change. "The public schools movement began in the 1830s, led by Horace Mann," notes George L. O'Brien in "Government Schools in Crisis." "Supposedly, the goal was to ensure that every child would have access to an education. However, from the beginning there was another agenda, and that was to control what was being taught so as to create so-called model citizens. Public schools meant taking control of education from the parents and placing it in the hands of social engineers and the government."
The early successes of these social-engineering experiments were limited because most school districts were independent and under the power of a local school board (meaning parents). But then the "unified school" movement came along at the turn of the century, which destroyed the system of local control. After World War II, educational jurisdiction was transferred to state governments. Things spiraled down even faster under President Carter, who created the U.S. Department of Education.
CA legislature adopts resolution to squelch family values in schools

Lawmakers in California have adopted a resolution calling for "meaningful" counseling for students, teachers or even parents who exhibit the wrong attitudes on school campuses, a move a critic calls the latest tool in an arsenal of weapons to squelch pro-family values.
The state assembly today voted 41-7 to adopt ACR 82.
Homeschoolers have won a round in the long fight against the crackdown on family rights contained to the United Nation's Convention on the Rights of the Child, but experts say they need to keep up their guard.
The convention, which is not yet ratified in the United States but has been adopted by numerous other nations, orders that children can choose their own religion with parents only having the authority to advise them, the government can override a parent's decision regarding a child if a social worker disagrees, a child has a right to a government review of every parental decision and Christian schools would violate the law if they refused to teach children "alternative worldviews."
And all corporal punishment, such as spankings, would be banned by law.
