Even in counties that aren’t controlled by Democrats, such as mine, the good ol’ boys are pretty much running the place for their own benefit. (The judge in this case is one of the Raleigh Mafia, so the author’s attempt to blame the Obama Administration for him doesn’t fly.) And the school systems and especially “social-welfare” agencies are heavily liberal, mainly I think because of the kind of people who go into that work in the first place. (School adminstrations are after the money, too, of course.)
This present case has a lot more going on than homeschooling, so I hesitate to comment. HSLDA isn’t mentioning it at this point on their site or in state-level communications.
Same thing here also.

All leftist thought is of and from Satan, if that’s what you mean.
If I were her, I would get passports, make plans and move out of the US.
However, there are parents of public schoolers who do not have a hands-on approach to their children's education either which is evidenced by how poorly the students of our nation's educational system often perform compared to the rest of the world.
I might add the “socialization” and “opposing views” arguments which the liberal judge (as you correctly stated) brought up border on absurdity.
Most homeschoolers can interact with adults just as easily as they do with other kids and can, unlike Caroline Kennedy, do so without using the word “like” or the phrase “you know” more than once or twice in a conversation.
Their socialization is with people of varying ages rather than being couped up in a class room all day with kids their own age with the same emotional and maturity levels, and have to fight to survive the “law of the jungle” that often takes place in public school settings.
Also many homeschooling parents willing teach hot topic issues just so their children will know the opposing viewpoints. Most homeschooling kids watch TV, go to movies, and are on the internet, so they are constantly exposed to opposing viewpoints any way.
I have homeschooled for the past 10 years, and we are ending our homeschooling journey in May when my daughter graduates. Currently, she is a dual credit student at a local junior college and is carrying a 4.0. This is in addition to completing a few remaining courses at home.
Since I don't know how your sister runs her homeschooling efforts, I can't speak to what you have observed.
However, I can truthfully say the homeschooling families I have interacted with over the past 10 years take their task of homeschooling very seriously because they know their children's future depends on how well they, the parents, do their job. The parents also know the public sector will judge all homeschooling efforts by their own students’ failures or successes.
This mother is doing a great job with the kids, so lets reverse everything that she did just to indoctrinate the kiddies. Disgusting.
And the judge justifies this how? The husband cheated so I am going to punish the children by forcing them into a sub-par education system run by liberal brainwashed idiots.
I don't home-school my kids, but I might just have to in the future rather than have their heads filled to the brim with absolute crap.
Un freakin believable!
>Just because one is being homeschooled doesn’t necessarily make it a quality education.
However, the kids tested AHEAD of the national average. Therefore, they must be at least on par with the public-schooling population in regards to testable [educational] qualities.
ping for later
Needs to be shouted from the rooftops!
It’s such a ringing slogan ;-).
