More Wacky Weirdness from Texas

- Image via Wikipedia
Something is very wrong in Texas.
The collective mentality of that state is quite troubling. From removing Thomas Jefferson from textbooks and making up their own history to claiming that a mistrust of government makes you a bad parent, there is some real sickness going on in Texas.
My sympathies to those living there that have to put up with the silly weirdness in that state.
If Texas is a state of mind then that state of mind called Texas is quite delusional.
But if every parent that mistrusted the government were to lose their kids, we would have most kids losing their parents.

Police: Teaching Kids to Mistrust Government Makes Couple ‘Unsuitable’ Parents
Texans, beware: If you teach your kids that the “government is out to harm them,” police in Williamson County might just deem you an “unsuitable” parent.
That startling claim, leveled by officers in Child Protective Services documents detailing an investigation into an Austin-area activist couple, should be enough to give reason for pause to any staunch conservative in the state.
The allegation was made against drug reform activist filmmakers Barry and Candi Cooper, whose home was recently raided and searched after the Williamson County Sheriff’s Department claimed Barry’s voice was heard in the background audio of an allegedly false police report.
Once in the couple’s home, officers discovered a small amount of marijuana and charged the Coopers with Class B misdemeanors, resulting in both their arrests. Each immediately bonded out of jail and paid a small fine. Days later, while Candi’s youngest son was visiting his father in east Texas, Child Protective Services contacted the Coopers, revealing that the incident could cost them not only custody of the boy, but also their freedom on felony child endangerment charges.
After CPS interviewed the couple, Travis County Deputy District Attorney Dayna Blazey pronounced both Coopers to be fit parents, whose children are healthy, happy and “well cared for.”
“[There] is nothing to indicate that the kids are at risk,” she wrote.
