I didn't have the first idea how to even hold a baby before mine arrived. This test is insane and the psychologists involved should be imprisoned.



I had to stop reading half way through the article, what an outrageous and disgusting state policy. Denmark should be absolutely ashamed.


The psychologists doing what they're supposed to do should be imprisoned? Putting aside whether imprisonment is a sane punishment for something like this... why not the lawmakers that enabled this?


> the psychologist told her: "To see if you are civilised enough, if you can act like a human being."

This is not a foot soldier "just doing their job" ignorant of its rammifications. This is an educated, motivated person with transferrable skills who has chosen to enthusiastically engage in systematic oppression. This class of person is incompatible with society.

There are alternatives to imprisonment for people who rip babies from mother's arms in service of cultural erasure/eugenics, but I don't want to stoop to their level by advocating for them.


You're not supposed to obey unjust laws, you're supposed to organise resistance against them.


Imprisoned, beaten with foam pool noodles, and pelted with whipped cream pies.

Treated like the clowns they were behaving as.


Why not both?


Because I don't think it's fair to punish these people for doing what the law says they have to do.


There's no law that requires any specific practitioner to participate in this program, though.
