I was shown this article fairly recently, and I must say that I was quite shocked. Not necessarily because there are racist singers around (I’ve been researching and analysing extremists for a few years now, and one of my main hobbies is tracking extremist movements and groups in America), but because Lynx and Lamb Gaede (is their mother grooming them for future Nazi porn-stardom with those names?) are only thirteen years old. Granted, most thirteen-year-olds I’ve known are competent and intelligent enough to at least have their own beliefs. However, in the case of Lynx and Lamb, their mother, April, has been home-schooling them consistently (until now), teaching them her racist beliefs and historical myths that have been disproved by mainstream historians. These girls have basically been groomed to be extremists. I believe in the right to free speech, but I do not believe in the right to brainwash one’s children with whatever beliefs that a parent has. Each individual has the right to learn what they wish on his own. In fact, situations like these are what makes me question the benefits of home-schooling.

I’m hoping that these girls will hit their rebellious streak in a few years and realise that hate is wrong. Maybe they’ll be so rebellious that they’ll each date black guys to teach their pushy mother a thing or two. Of course, that’s a futile hope. Most people who have been brainwashed need several years to deprogramme themselves.
