I'm pretty sure in such a case, child services is going to make sure the children aren't being abused or neglected, and the parents will be judged fit or not.
The question is this: who decides, in this new secular orthodoxy?
Personally, I'm unwilling to cede that kind of parental decision making to the state. That necessarily means that I have to tolerate other people doing things I don't agree with, including teaching their children what I consider to be weapons grade bullshit.
