there's a general issue with rise in protectionism

I am empathetic to 99% of this woman's case and the article.

However, the ending though, really feels like they're one step away from anti-vax, anti-education, and pro-hate pro-bigotry.

This case really feels like an over-reach. But to condemn the entire system because they have an interest in making sure the country functions and sets minimum standards of life and care is not a "bad thing". The government represents the collective decision-making of millions, hundreds-of-millions of people.

Don't throw the baby out with the bath water because one cop (in rural Georgia of all places) over-reacted.
