The Hitler Jugend lives!

A Nashville church that's fighting to keep from registering its daily child ''camp'' as a state-licensed day-care center posts armed guards on the church grounds, which is raising alarms for state human services officials.

The church also defied a court order yesterday and continued with its day camp, which accommodates more than 150 children up to age 5.

Priest Lake Community Baptist Church officials say that the guards carry their weapons legally and that the state is trying to force an ''atheist'' view on the congregation by requiring it to register as a day-care provider.

Right. You need armed guards and a surveillance system for a Bible Camp. A camp for kids under 5 that lasts 12 hours a day. That's brainwashing boys and girls.

I think that's an overreaction.

To me it sounds like a combination of a congregation that is strict, perhaps Millennial-focused, is advertising absolute Christian security for your kids, and also thinks government is already overreaching in regulating religion out of public life.

It's obviously operating as a child care. Calling it brainwashing is painting with a pretty broad brush--after all I sent my kids to YMCA day camp, does that mean they were brainwashed?

I don't like them, and I wouldn't send my kids there, but I support their right to run it how they want. I also support the government regulating day care centers even if they're religious, so I think the appropriate action is likely being taken.
