There have been many cases where they have; usually a
judge manages to rectify the situation, after some harm
has been done. Social workers are very devoted to their
belief system, and this does not accept religious cults
or anything which is not politically correct.

I did not say that the STATE comes down hard; it is the
educationists and social workers.

And the schools allowed someone with a recognized

Maybe it is those who would be unproductive who drop out.
The legal system and the unions are also responsible for
much of this; some people do not belong in fields requiring
academic knowledge, but should go into suitable work early.
