Have you seen this post a mom wrote for CNN iReport about raising her kids without God? I guess it really pissed people off! As in, some readers flagged her post as "inappropriate" and complained that it shouldn't have shown up on CNN's home page at all. Really, people? Inappropriate? You would have thought she'd written a passionate defense of child abuse! It took guts for TXBlue08 (the blogger's pen name) to put her controversial ideas out there, I suppose. But I don't think there's anything inappropriate about what she has to say. She's a thoughtful mom sharing her experience about raising her kids. She has the right to raise her children as atheists -- and CNN has the right to publish her story. Can't we handle that?![]()
