4:07Now PlayingAn atheist mom in Albuquerque was court ordered to attend a Christian form of counseling in order to avoid losing her two 11 year old sons. Holly Salzman divorced her husband and sought help from the court in order to become a better co-parent. The court mandated she see Mary Pepper who bases her counseling on Christian practices. She informed the court and stopped going, but then lost custody of her boys. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian (The Point) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.
What would you have done in this situation? Is it acceptable for the court to force to attend Christian counseling? Let us know in the comments below.

"When a non-religious woman in Albuquerque showed up to her court-ordered counseling appointment, she was confronted with prosyltization and prayer.
Holly Salzman says she had sought help from the courts in co-parenting her 11-year-old sons with her ex-husband. The result was a court-order that sent Salzburg to a counselor named Mary Pepper. Once she got there, Salzburg realized something was definitely up when Pepper tried to open the session through prayer. When Salzman informed her new counselor that she was not religious and felt vastly uncomfortable with the directive to pray, the response she got from the counselor was basically a shrug and an eyeroll. When she decided to say nuts to that noise and forego the involuntary bible study, the court went ahead and took her kids, saying that she could have them back once she finished the sessions."
