Clarke, University of Regina,  \nand Heather Heavin and Keith Walker, University of Saskatchewan  \nIn this article, we use a recent Manitoba child custody case to provide a legal and ethical account of the notion of the best interests ofthe child. We explore the tension between the best interests ofthe child and parental rights to expression of a racist nature. We consider how the interests of different actors – the state, parents and children – are considered in the context of racist parenting. The parent-child relationship is salient in formulating and influencing acceptable and unacceptable thoughts, ideas and behaviours in children but the views of parents do not always coincide with what society tolerates as acceptable. We ask, when do parental views on subjects such as religion, race or politics reach the level of ‗legal unacceptability‘ such that a parent could face a loss of custody as a result of expressing or teaching these views to his or her child? We also consider the ethical frames which apply to this proposed fact situation to help us make sense of the best interests ofthe child principle where racist parental beliefs are at the fore. This article encourages advocates, care-givers, and adjudicators to work with Solomon-like wisdom for the best interests ofthe child by bringing to consideration the commonly taken-for-granted jurisprudential and ethical meanings and interpretations that are perhaps over-embedded and underconsidered in the cliché-oriented notion of the best interests ofthe child.  \nIntroduction  \nThe headlines are sensational, provocative and enraging:  \nMother of Girl with Swastika Wants Children Back (CTV Winnipeg, 2008, July 4)  \nWinnipeg ‘White Pride ’ Mother Regrets Redrawing Swastika on Child's Arm (CBC, 2008, July 10)  \nManitoba Government Seeks to Ban Media from ‘White Pride ’ Custody Trial  \n(CBC, 2009, January 29)  \nCustody Trial Set for Accused White Supremacist Parents in Winnipeg (CBC,  \n2009, May 15)  \nGirl Watched Skinhead Videos and Talked of How to Kill, Hearing Told Parents Accused of Racist Teachings Begin Court Battle for Children (CBC, 2009, May 25)  \nThis is the misfortune of some children who wind up in circumstances where their parents become embroiled in media frenzies and custody battles, where the simple, fragile and innocent processes of growing up become incredibly complicated by adult attentions, inattentions, and contested rights, responsibilities and interests. Alternatively, it is the good fortune of some children that some matters generally considered private end up in the public realm where they are subjected to public scrutiny and reason. In this article we have selected the case depicted in these headlines to provide a legal and ethical account of the notion of the best interests ofthe child. We explore the tension between the best interests ofthe child and parental rights to expression of a racist nature. We consider how the interests of different actors – the state, parents and children – are considered in the context of racist parenting. We also offer ethical frames to help us make sense of the best interest of the child principle where racist parental beliefs are atthe fore. We then look at the recent Manitoba decision in, Director of Child and Family Service v. D.M.P. (MBQC, 2002, no. 32; MCJ, 2010, no. 37) and briefly consider how the best interests of the child principle has been applied in this case.  \nThe Unfortunate Drama  \nImagine eight adults (grandfather, social worker, teacher, child and family service supervisor, child‘s step father, child‘s natural mother, foster mother (child‘s paternal aunt) and foster father (child‘s uncle) standing in a circle around an eight year old elementary school child, who is sitting in the middle of the circle next to a likewise seated judge.
