Shielding child whose mother is A from father's B lifestyle/i deology/religion?

[Judith Baer]

At a practical level, of course, what parent would come out in open court
and say "we're racists here, you can't let my child consort with other
races"?
(Vance Koven)
 
No, but the present case reminds me of Palmore v. Sidoti. The father argued
for, and initially got, custody on the grounds that his daughter would be
subject to social stigmativation because she lived in an interracial
household. This judge has justified his ruling by pointing to the child's
fear of certain Wiccan practices. Actually, the present argument is the
stronger, since the child has exhibited fear, whereas Melanie Sidoti's
"stigmatization" was hypothetical.
