   Nonsense! We have (had) many children of Jehovah Witnesses at our   
   school. In spite of their refusal to say the pledge of allegiance to   
   the United States, salute the U.S. flag, or participate in other   
   patriotic ceremonies, these kids are almost invariably polite, well-   
   behaved, well dressed, well spoken, hard working, and remarkably   
   honest. Jehovah Witnesses are usually honor students and, hence,   
   could not possibly come from chaotic and unloving families. I've   
   spoken with some of their parents -- they seem well-informed, and   
   they have better than average parenting skills. The above qualities   
   are more than commensurate for their (what appear to me as)   
   farfetched religious beliefs and refusal to engage/cooperate in   
   social events, extra-curricular activities, and competitive athletics.
