Too close for comfort

Yesterday, Ed Brayton posted a notice about a man who was imprisoned for refusing a program of religious indoctrination. In the United States of America. He's out now, but only after a difficult appeals process. This should never have had to be taken to court in the first place. The fact that it was "merely" done under the guise of a drug rehab program should comfort no one, any attempt to institute theocracy in America will obviously involve lots of lying about what's really going on. This should put us all on notice to be vigilant about these abuses.
