Its not right for the state to take Children away from a family based souly on the childrens names. If the state can do it in this case whats to stop it from taking children away from parents based on unpopular political positions, or foul language.
In my mind as awful and hateful as these people might be it sets a terrible president and opens the door for abuse down the road.
Should the state keep an eye on the childrens safety YES (YES YES YES) but it needs a reason to step in that words protected under the constitution.

About a week ago, the parents had a custody hearing. Their car got pulled over (expired inspection sticker). They then complained to the press that A. the cops called Heath "that Nazi guy" (he has swastikas tatooed on his neck and painted on his car) and B. the officers made him take a sobriety test because they smelled alcohol. The wife indignantly explained that it wasn't him, it was her mother in the back seat who reeked of alcohol at 9:30am. And that they'd brought Grandma along in hopes that the judge would give the kids to drunken grandma. I am not joking. So I think we can suspect there may be some bad judgment going on in that family, along with a persecution complex.

And hate speech, specifically hate speech that is disruptive or can lead to physical harm is not protected.
I'm sorry if this was inarticulate. I'm pretty upset about how lightly people are taking these names.

White Supremacists are weird nowadays. A lot of them are pretty "accepting" of dealing with people of other ethnicities. They'll act civil in person, but once behind closed doors its all the MexiCANs', Heebs' and Niggers' fault they have shitty lives.

Imagine if you were that child and in 20 years people can google you (or whatever we have in 20 years) and find out your Dad was raping you and your Mom was burning you with cigerettes. A childs privacy is important.

Um, guys? That's not what is happening here. Even money says the party violating the gag rule is doing so for their own benefit. Like lying about there being no abuse at his house. Or lying about abuse at the foster house. Or generally playing on your sympathies. C'mon folks, we're smarter than this!

But I am in much doubt of this man's credibility, and frankly doubt that CPS violated the law by taking these children without cause just because their parents gave them despicable names. Perhaps that was what brought the attention of the state, but I imagine there's much more to this than we are aware.
Not to say some good-intentioned person or group may have filed erroneous reports, counting on the idea that the names of the children must be indicative of much worse behavior or whatever, which could happen. Still, he is not the source of honest info in my eyes, but I have a real problem with white supremacists and that totally clouds my judgment, I admit.

Yeah those names are dumb and offensive, but I don't see anyone taking away children from parents who name them Tayqueefalie or Nevaeh.

Huh?
Does "Tayqueefalie or Nevaeh" really compare to Hitler and Aryan Nation?
Making Sense, ur doing it wrong.

Reading that bit did, actually, remind me of those comments I saw during the election. That's really all I meant.
