Teachers - excuse me, Educators - put out “I’ve know that for a long time?” Toward the end. What a mess from A to Z.
Local parents, voters and school board have all been put on alert and are dealing with the situation. Local news carried the story; the principal and whoever put out the flyer have already been called out and embarrassed. For all you know, the principal was appalled as the rest of us, and is guilty of failing to vet the flyer, not of espousing the advice in it.
National forums posting this story, from the leftwing Jezebel to the rightwing FR, serve to alert parents and voters in other places to watch out for this insane philosophy in their own districts.
That’s what we have to watch out for. Lincoln, Nebraska is taking care of Lincoln, Nebraska.
Yeah, something like that (wink).
On the Lincoln School Facebook page, Brooks Gibbs’ curriculum is being credited for this fiasco. They are calling him a conservative christian. I found some evidence of him being a christian but no evidence of him being a conservative.

Also some were crediting this curriculum.
Does anyone have any info about where this flyer came from?
ping to 24
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
