What if we substituted Christian for Muslim?

 

A Richland Hills clinic doesn't want Muslim children in the foster care system to have to pray in a bedroom with a cross on the wall. Kathy Ledesma, project director for AdoptUSKids, a taxpayer supported organization, says, "It's really a disservice to children . . . to be in a home that has different traditions . . ." To place a Muslim child in a non-Muslim home violates their religious freedom, she says.

 

I have to wonder how many Christian children have been placed in non-Christian homes. Or how many children have been placed in homosexual homes? Would Kathy say that not allowing a homosexual couple to foster a child was a violation of their rights? I suspect she would. Would Kathy stand up for a Christian child who was being place into a Muslim or Buddhist or atheist home? I doubt she would.
