I’m not usually one to jump on the boycott wagon (and I can’t on this one for odd reasons), but I wanted to make sure that the homeschoolers had caught on to Subway restaurant excluding homeschoolers from their contest. It’s not an urban legend it’s right on the contest form “no home schools will be accepted.”

Michelle Malkin has been covering this.

My Daddy was in the "Home Guard" in MS, but he never served in the regular military. Just before WWII, he, Mama, and my oldest brother, traveled around the country while Daddy worked to build Army bases. They lived in NC, IN, TX, MO, and AR, before heading back to MS. SirKit's Dad was a Sergeant in the Artillery, and was scheduled to take part in the invasion of Japan. Thankfully, that never happened. Neither of my Grandaddies served, but SirKit's Maternal Grandaddy was an Ambulance Driver in France in WWI, and his Paternal Grandaddy was a Contractor who worked on the atomic project facilities in Oak Ridge, TN.

And you're right, Corin, there are many men and women here at FR who have served, or are serving now, protecting our freedoms. I thank God for them all!

Oh, yeah, our State Yahoo group is talking about this. They’re surmising that since the Grand Prize is Athletic Eqpt. for a school, that if a homeschooler were to win it, it wouldn’t be appropriate. That’s understandable, but it seems the lesser prizes are perfectly suitable, and there’s no reason that homeschoolers shouldn’t participate and compete for those. The company could simply award the Grand Prize to the school whose student ends up highest in the competition, if a homeschooler actually placed first.
