Have you heard...?This past December, the Campbells could not get a ShopRite supermarket to decorate a birthday cake for their son because of his name: Adolf Hilter Campbell.
While their cake dilemma ended with Wal-Mart's compliance with their request, they now are in a fight for custody of their children. They do not know what the pretenses were for their removal but believe the sole-reason was because of their children's names, all of which have Nazi roots.
The Division of Youth and Family Services has not stated why the children have been removed (and may be prohibited of doing so by law), leaving the rest of us to question the Campbell's outcries:
- Could this be discrimination?
- Were these children safe in their previous environment or were they in "imminent danger" in their parent's custody?
Here's the story:

I am a little suspicious myself. While I am opposed to the ideologies and values of white-supremacy, I wonder if the children were removed under false pretenses. But are they false if "imminent danger" could be classified by a upbringing in a hateful and often violent belief system?
What are your thoughts on this controversy?
