It’s all over the news – the Campbell family of New Jersey, who infamously gave their children Nazi-linked names (oldest boy is named Adolph Hitler Campbell) has had the kids hauled off by Child Protection:<\/p>\n
Little Adolf, who is three, was removed along with his sisters, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell.<\/p>\n
There must have been some signs of physical abuse or neglect, since I doubt DYFS can parchute in just because mom and dad are neo-Nazis with awful judgement in baby names.<\/p>\n
When I interviewed neighbors of the family last month, Sally Miller, who lives down the road from the Campbells, said they had trick-or-treated at her home (not dressed as storm troopers, or anything–just regular Halloween costumes).<\/p>\n
Adolf’s mom, Deborah Campbell, was pregnant at the time, and when Miller congratulated her, she joked about fighting a lot with her husband. Miller also said other neighbors had heard the couple arguing.<\/p>\n
Miller didn’t discover the boy’s name until it made headlines.<\/p>\n
But according to Fox News, Holland Township Police Sgt. John Harris said cops never saw any signs of abuse <\/a>and, in fact, dad Heath Campbell seemed very good with his kids.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The chattering classes are presuming there has <\/em>to be more to it – but there’s nothing publicly available (which isn’t unusual in Child Protection cases).<\/p>\n
Of course, if it was all about the name, that should <\/em>make your hair stand on end.\u00a0 Let’s clarify this for you; your kids can be taken away if the authorities think you’re “too weird”).<\/p>\n
With the approval of an awful lot of people, from comment section trolls <\/a>to the mainstream media<\/a>:<\/p>\n
Obviously, if the Campbells were denying the children food that’s one thing. But is the state within its rights to remove children from a home because of the parents’ political beliefs? If indeed that’s the reason (the state isn’t saying so). That’s a tough question, but I think in this particular case most of us can agree that removing children from an atmosphere of obvious poison <\/strong>is probably a good thing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Obvious poison?<\/p>\n
Naming a kid “Adolph Hitler” is certainly a social gaffe. But worse than the parents (at least the overeducated Anglos) who name their kids “Che”?\u00a0 In historical degree, maybe.<\/p>\n
What if they’re following through; teaching the kids that Jews are subhuman?\u00a0 It’s perfectly legal – indeed, protected by the first Amendment – for adults to believe that (albeit not act on it on more than a rhetorical level); should it be illegal for parents to teach their kids hate?\u00a0 Wonder what the daughter that Garrison Keillor dotes on thinks about red-state Republicans.<\/p>\n
The point, obviously, is that “poison” is a moving target.\u00a0 Some consider non-cafeteria Christianity <\/a>a “poisonous” environment, and they’re powerful enough to spark genuine worries that Christian beliefs could be viewed as factors in “hate crimes”.<\/p>\n
This might be a better question for all of you who spent the last eight years worrying about John Ashcroft and Karl Rove shipping you off to camps in Idaho for voting for John Kerry; is this a precedent you want to let stand?
