NCCPR in Louisiana Illuminator re: Louisiana lawmaker who wants to know who’s doing #childwelfare better than his state: No place does it well, but the places that do better have one thing in common. https://lailluminator.com/2026/03/25/wexler-dcfs/ #childabuse #fostercare

Who’s doing child welfare better than Louisiana? Here’s the answer. • Louisiana Illuminator

No place does child welfare well, but there are a few places that do better than the rest. At one point, one of them was in Louisiana.

Excepting for the abuse of the children ...

Let me start again.

If these children have to be abused, and a psychology ethics committee has to condone that abuse by approving the experiment ...

Still, "Absolutely not".

How about:
If/when Trump Nazis take over schools and universities (Heidegger anyone?) then the abuse of children will be twisted into Nazi science experiments.

And:

"It’s a battlefield that mirrored the same sort of power that was asserted by figures like Gothard over families, and in turn, by some political figures trained by him, over a nation."

At the very heart of the unsavory Duggar story is child abuse fostered by religious ideologues. As Stankorb says,

"It’s wrenching to know how the impulse to protect and care for children was so twisted by systems that made the home a battlefield."

Noting that multiple members of the Arkansas Duggar family, noted for its outspoken role in the Religious right, have now been arrested in child abuse charges, Sarah Stankorb looks at the "culture of warped power" that lies behind the Duggar story.

The Duggars are well known to follow and promote the abusive child-rearing practices of white evangelical leader Bill Gothard.
