  Note that I'm not in theory against removing children from parents who
teach them destructive values (such as theories about the inherent
inferiority of some people and the superiority of others). However, it's
a fine line between child protection and totalitarianism, where wrong
political opinions are illegal.

  Also, as I said, such actions very easily (if not even inevitably) lead
to double standards, where some destructive political or religious opinions
are tolerated (in the name of political correctness, multiculturalism, or
whatever might be the latest trend) while other similar (or even less
destructive) opinions aren't.
