This is so not cool. Not cool at all.
In my training class, we had a conversation in which a vegetarian was criticized by our trainers for not being able to serve culturally relevant foods to her prospective child. (I supported her and said that my house is kosher, and that's just the way it is.) My psychiatrist implied that the fact that I wouldn't take future foster children to McDon@ld's was some big problem.
Maybe I was lucky to be licensed?
The media doesn't always report these things accurately. It could have had less to do with the fact that the woman wouldn't have pork in her home and more to do with perhaps that she portrayed herself as religiously inflexible or intolerant.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to tell in these cases. We made it clear that we have a Jewish home and therefore no Christmas tree, and nobody gave it a second thought.
