[QUOTE=Captain Blight;13160415][QUOTE=Digital_Cowboy;13159808] What will it be tomorrow? A parent raising their children in their religion? Where does it end?
Just so you know, this is known as Non causa pro causa, or the slippery-slope argument, and is one of the most common logical fallacies. Unless you actually can see into the future, you shouldn't use this argument, particularly around people who know better.


Not, however, that I disagree in this particular instance; but, since you ask, I'll tell you where it ends. It ends at the junction of Common Sense and Consent of the Governed.
True, but unfortunately given that even when the mother had suggested/asked about her daughter taking an alternate route to and from school she was told no by the police. Thus they have already started down said slippery slope by continuing to tell her how she can and cannot raise her daughter/children.
