I know this isn’t exactly the purpose of the blog, but I’m interested to hear whether you guys have been thinking about/talking about the recent raids on the FLDS compound in El Dorado, Texas. We talked in one of my community health classes today about how to figure out where the line is between respecting someone’s culture and freedom of religion versus protecting people’s (specifically children’s) health. I don’t really know how to answer that question in general, and it’s very hard to see a good solution to this situation. Here’s a link to a video of some of the mothers. I’d love to hear people’s thoughts, or the reactions on your campuses if there are any.
