Any adjective preceding “justice” simply obviates the word and concept.

Long before I heard such stories directly from "conservative" social workers, I started noticing a change in this profession in the late 90s. When I was handling adoptions I noticed that the State of Oregon was giving gay couples first preference to adopt. There was no such thing as gay marriage then. I learned this was because social workers were pushing it, over straight couples. They were completely ignoring the best interests of the child as they pushed a political/social agenda.

Portland child psychologist Frank Xxxxxxxo many, many years ago cautioned that the most important protection for any child was total avoidance of any contact with Oregon State's Child Protective Services. There have been heartbreaking stories of their abusive use of their legal powers. Elizabeth Nickson's most recent Substack report (https://elizabethnickson.substack.com/p/a-principality-falls-in-an-avalanche?utm) reveals the abuse some children suffer at the hands of those who claim to protect them.

I rubbed elbows with Oregon's Children's Services here and there from time to time when I was practicing law. Disgusting.

I have long held an almost pathological hatred of “social workers”. It is in my mind a profession that should rank at the bottom of any career list- well below personal injury attorneys, used car salesmen, with even functionaries employed by the DOJ and IRS tied for 2nd from last place.

I agree with you!!! Anyone who genuinely wanted to help people is either kicked out of the profession or quits because their ethics won't allow themselves to be involved in such racism and dishonesty.
