But the Supreme Court has never considered whether the Free Exercise clause prevents states from placing children with foster families whom state officials know, or have reason to know, will subject the children to practices at odds with their religious upbringing. 3 Despite this, a few federal courts have held, or at least suggested, that “parents’ wishes with regard to their children’s religious training while in state custody are afforded some constitutional protection.” Bruker v. City of N.Y., 92 F.Supp.2d 257, 267 (S.D.N.Y.2000); see also Pfoltzer v. County of Fairfax, 966 F.2d 14…

OPINION

PER CURIAM:

1

Graham Majette appeals from the district court's order denying relief under the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C.s 1346(b) (1988). Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Majette v. Norfolk Naval Shipyard, No. CA-9181-2 (E.D. Va. Nov. 25, 1991). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
