Christians Barred from Fostering Children in Massachusetts

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

I reported in April that Oregon’s Department of Human Services announced it would prevent some Christian families from adopting children due to their “extreme views.” Potential adopters now receive an ideological litmus test to ensure that parents adhere to the woke agenda and will agree to let their child transition to any gender at whim.

Planned Parenthood performed 374,155 abortions last year, amounting to 1,200 abortions per day. The same organization is also funding gender-affirming care for the youth. Only 1,803 women placed their babies up for adoption last year, and it is notoriously hard to adopt in America. These agencies are profiting on selling children to parents and do not prioritize the well-being of the children. The woke ideology must be at the forefront.

Massachusetts has joined Oregon in preventing Christians and other religious couples from providing homes to children. One couple from Massachusetts has taken the Commonwealth to court (Burke v Walsh) after they were denied the right to foster at-risk children. Mike and Kitty Burke were deemed unfit caregivers solely because they believe in the Catholic faith. “After months of interviews and training, and after years of heartbreak, we were on the verge of finally becoming parents,” said Mike and Kitty Burke. “We were absolutely devastated to learn that Massachusetts would rather children sleep in the hallways of hospitals than let us welcome children in need into our home.”

The Department of Children and Families (DCF) admits that they have 1,500 children displaced children awaiting forever homes. The state has no room to house these poor children temporarily and has resorted to leaving these vulnerable children in state hospitals for weeks at a time. The Burke family wanted to welcome at least one child into their home.  “Their faith is not supportive,” the social worker deemed, citing their views on gender dysphoria and sexual orientation. Perhaps the state of Massachusetts will allow the Burke family to foster a migrant military-aged adult male since that is of top priority. The entire woke agenda is hurting thousands of children, and we must begin to question why we are permitting this blatant religious discrimination to occur.

Indeed. Its a spiritual war.

“Refugee” Re$ettlement, OTOH, is a massive industry that has infiltrated the weakened globohomo christian churchian complex to become a major source of institutional capture, as well as propagation of the inverted Christain virtues used as moral cover for the destruction of Heritage American people and culture.

Also interesting are the demographics of where these policies take hold. “Democrat” controlled is merely the administrative aspect that allows most brands of opposition to tilt at the windmill instead of having to become raciss. Its a clever model.

And in Montana….

Judge in Historic Case Sides With CHILDREN Who Sued Montana Over “Climate Change”

Reuters reported that a so-called judge ruled Monday that the state of Montana is violating the rights of children with policies that prevent the state form considering the impact of “climate change” when authorities review fossil fuel projects…

Here is the background on this absurd lawsuit:

Back in 2020, 16 children when they were ages 2 to 18 (now 5 to 22) sued Montana, alleging the state’s permitting of coal and natural gas production was worsening the climate crisis. As Reuters notes, a 1972 amendment to the Montana constitution requires the state to protect and improve the environment.

During the June trial, which lasted five days, the activists whined about suffering “injuries” they claimed came from Montana’s energy policies and also said their homes had been negatively impacted.

While I would be against that, a “keep your religion to yourself” rule might not be a bad idea.

It would require a “keep your opinions on other’s religion to yourself” rule to be fair.

A simple “no PUBLIC discussion of religion” rule would cover both nicely. It used to be simple manners not to. Those that preached unasked and those that mocked unprompted, were held in equal contempt.

the freedom of speach and religion means we may have to hear things we dont agree with. to even suggest that any one self sensor in america becomes the problem. imagine a law where you cant speak at all… thats the next step after what you suggest… its like a rapist slowly entering the victim so complaints are minimal… does that make it any less then then slow creeping tyrany that you support because you would deny a person to follow his heart and share with you why hes so happy and your a misserable puke who rather have our god given rights userped or worse yet willingly denied?

Foster parents probably get a bonus check for dragging some poor kid trapped in the CPS system to the tranny storybook hours.

Christian parents will not take foster children to Tranny storybook hours. It would be anathema to them.

Ergo, Christian parents are by default disqualified from foster parenting.

Can’t cultivate and harvest your transgender project if you don’t plant any transgender seeds of delusion into your current crop of future slaves.
