ABSTRACT

The case for feminist fundamentalism could be made with respect to any number of other constitutional orders, including Canada and the European legal systems. This chapter proposes massive government intervention into constitutionally protected parenting choices. The reaction to the State of Texas's April 2008 attempt to remove more than 400 children from parents who were members of the Fundamentalist Church of the Latter Day Saints (FLDS) living on the Yearning for Zion Ranch. Nation-states like the United States, as well as individuals, can have feminist fundamentalist commitments. Focusing on these commitments helps dissolve any perceived dichotomy between feminist or liberal universalism and local cultural commitments. In seeking to dissolve the dichotomy between liberal universalism and cultural particularity, the chapter wishes to bracket, not to deny, disparage, or obviate, universal human rights claims. State-sponsored education is required to refrain from promoting a message of inequality between men and women.
