The court accused them of &#8220;intellectual neglect,&#8221; citing their daughters&#8217; limited exposure to certain cultural aspects, despite the girls being skilled pianists and multilingual. The parents are appealing the decision, arguing they have the right to choose their children&#8217;s education.
