IN POLITICAL NEWS
1) Speaker Johnson says the Uke aid bill will come next, but will be paired with border security.
-Like Rutabaga is gonna sign that.
2) Ron DeSantis is really baring it all, saying the “GOP won’t nominate President Trump” if he is convicted.
-Really? All that appeals stuff doesn’t matter? The desperation is strong with this one.
3) And this comes on the heels of the latest DeSantis row: “Republican elected officials in Florida are expected to flip their endorsements from DeSantis to President Trump next week.”
4) Some might see this as a shot across the bow of New Kabul Mayor Eric the Red Adams, who has been critical of Rutabaga for filling the Big Rotten Apple up with illegal criminals: the FascistBI raided the home of one of the mayor’s fundraisers.
5) Tennessee, nothing surprising in that Trump beats Rutabaga badly by the same margins as 2020. Sen. Marcia Blackburn is also crushing her opponent.
6) The case in Minnesota to keep President Trump off the ballot there has reached that state’s Supreme Court.
-Choose wisely, Supes or the D.C. Supes will do it for you.
7) A roofing company in Florida has offered a free turkey and an AR-15 in its Thanksgiving special.
8) The Army suddenly and “chaotically” told hundreds of soldiers they have to be recruiters immediately.

10) Long Beach residents slam the influx of mentally ill homeless on their sidewalks as one filmed a man masturbating against a hair salon’s glass window in view of horrified customers.

13) Ooooh, the war-whores in the Senate are getting testy with Tommy Tuberville as he refuses to lift his hold on military promotions until Rutabaga changes the Pentagon’s policy for troops seeking an abortion. Sounds like Rutabaga holds the key to this one, folks.
14) Typical lib response. D.C. mayor Muriel Bow Wow Bowser will hand out air tags to residents to make it easier for them to track their stolen cars.
15) Investigators say they know where Jimmy Hoffia’s remains are: Milwaukee.
16) Predictably, 23 squish Republicans joined DemoKKKrats to torpedo a resolution to censure Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (D-Palestine) over criticisms of Israel after Hamas murdered helpless concertgoers.

The Washington ComPost Admits Homeschooling is Exploding
But gets the reasons wrong as usual.
LARRY SCHWEIKART
NOV 3, 2023
The Washington Post admitted that homeschooling is growing, everywhere. Among the conclusions:
*”In states with comparable enrollment figures, the number of home-schooled students increased 51 percent over the past six school years, far outpacing the 7 percent growth in private school enrollment. Public school enrollment dropped 4 percent over the same period, a decline partly attributable to home schooling.”
*” Home schooling’s surging popularity crosses every measurable line of politics, geography and demographics. The number of home-schooled kids has increased 373 percent over the past six years in the small city of Anderson, S.C.; it also increased 358 percent in a school district in the Bronx.
* “In 390 districts included in The Post’s analysis, there was at least one home-schooled child for every 10 in public schools during the 2021-2022 academic year, the most recent for which district-level federal enrollment data are available. That’s roughly quadruple the number of districts that had rates that high in 2017-2018, signifying a sea change in how many communities educate their children and an urgent challenge for a public education system that faced dwindling enrollment even before the pandemic. “
Folks, this 10% number is exactly what Brennan Dean, the head of Great Homeschool Conventions, one of the leading homeschool convention providers, told me last year. However, the head of “Teach Them Diligently,” another large convention provider, estimated that number to be double the 10%.
So this paragraph is key:
*”Despite claims that the home-schooling boom is a result of failing public schools, The Post found no correlation between school district quality, as measured by standardized test scores, and home-schooling growth. In fact, high-scoring districts had some of the biggest spikes in home schooling early in the pandemic, though by the fall of 2022 increases were similar regardless of school performance.”
This isn’t the right question. You can have “competent” or even “good” schools in terms of test scores but if the testing is all ideological feces, IT DOESN’T MATTER! Just cause you can turn out good little transoid Palestinian-loving commies with high scores, ordinary people will bail by the thousands. The Compost did not ask the right question.
In all my homeschool conventions, I have never once had a parent say they began homeschooling because the technical quality of the school was not up to snuff. Every single reason offered, so far, came down to “I want to teach my kids my values, not have some public school leftist teach them his.”
MOREOVER, this number under other circumstances would be much higher! consider that my curriculum at www.wildworldofhistory.com is a high school curriculum. One of the more common statements I hear from parents who do not adopt my curriculum is ‘Our son/daughter only has 2 years to go and we don’t want to pull them out now.” In other words, parents are grudgingly putting up with a poorer education for the social stability of their kids.
How much more can homeschooling grow? In Arizona, the state adopted a “money follows the child” policy so that parents can get their education dollars back for a charter, private, or homeschool education. Many who have bailed on the public schools are giving private and charter schools a try. This will be somewhat successful—-better discipline, learning environment—-but eventually the woke there will also come home to roost.
Just spitballin’ but I’m guessing homeschool can at least double again, to between 20% and 30% of all students nationwide.
