The father did not want the child to be homeschooled. Why should the right of the mother to have him homeschooled override the rights of the father? Or vice versa?
Mother has primary custody.
The terms are not exact, but think, "Mom raises her from day to day and dad sees her twice a month on the weekend."
/facepalm
Messy divorce, parents can't agree on how to raise her, allegations are made, so she gets shipped to a counselor. Sound right so far? She (the patient) assigns homework to the counselor, then freaks when it's not completed. Still tracking?
My point, was that any counselor with any patient would have done the same. If it's a court ordered eval, if it's therapy, whatever. It's all the same, and all the same reasoning. In this case it's especially beneficial for the counselor to ignore her demands, as how she reacts to people not acting as she would wish is a good thing to evaluate.
I honestly think this is at best a case of a poorly phrased judgement, and at worst a deliberate misinterpretation by people who want to feel persecuted. This pisses me off, as there is enough legitimate anti-Christian activity going on that one does not need to fake something up to support the point and doing so just embarrasses the rest of us.
Evaluation != Therapy
This was a "court-appointed guardian." If the critter is performing therapy, the critter is overstepping its bounds and ought to be bitch-slapped back into line. Likely just another poorly educated psych major for whom a sheepskin and a gov't job translate into a license to meddle.
Frankly, if the CASA really wanted to understand the kid, he would have gawked at the materials rahte rthan writing , "Just another religious nutjob," in bureacratese in his notes.

And, heck, since so many
other folks are speculating as to her religious nuttiness, I'll speculate that she suggested the research to her CASA in response to a question as to why she believes what she does. "If you want to understand why I believe the way I do, here's why..." So, obviously the CASA was operating in bad faith if he stated he wanted to understand her beliefs.
Further, as long as we're speculating here, I'll speculate that the CASA was threatened not only by her religious belief, but by her ability to communicate on a plane the CASA had difficulty reaching.
