The Week's Most Disturbing Story
Prussian Blue is a singing duo made up of thirteen-year-old twin sisters Lamb and Lynx Gaede. But despite the girls' hippie-pagan-sounding names, they are actually the children of white nationalists and their lyrics reflect their parents' hateful ideology. Recently, Prussian Blue raised money for hurricane victims, but only the white ones. (Most of their donations were not accepted.)
These girls are certainly free to say or sing whatever they want or to raise money for whomever they want no matter how frightening their expression of freedom might be. But what about the parents? The girls are homeschooled by their mother, and their father (who no longer lives with the twins) surrounds them with racist symbols and ideas. (He registered the Nazi swastika as a cattle brand. Poor cows.) Parents have a right to pass down their values to their children, but do they have a right to make their children public mouthpieces of hate? Is Prussian Blue an example of exploitation of minors?
I know; making this into a legal issue is probably a stretch. But beyond their obvious moral shortcomings, it seems that what Lynx and Lamb's parents are doing should catch the eye of the Department of Children's Services.

does the cattle brand go on black cows or just white cows?
Is not America great when multi-culturalism and diversity applies to the white race now in America? These beautiful girls with their pretty blue eyes are darling and I wish them much success. I hope that they stay with their style of singing folk songs, and never stray down the path that Britney and Madonna did! God Bless America! The white race has a place in this grand melting put of diversity again.
