>>I'm a homeschooler, and I don't read that in this article. What I do read is that he is warning homeschooling parents that we need to make stronger efforts (if not already doing so), for our sons to have male friends and good male role models. <<

This article, if anything, is preaching to the choir. How many homeschooling families do you know that do not expose their children to other children? Are we the people who are overlooking boys who tend to be feminine? No, we are the ones who know right from wrong and encourage family. The public schools and encouraging rainbows and triangles are the problem.

I still say he flip flops.

You're right. It's a poorly written article that rambles from point to point and contradicts itself. I wonder if the writer ever thought to write from an outline? It's a technique that imposes marvelous discipline on chaotic thoughts.

Obviously, however, even a badly written polemic on male influence, homeschooling and homosexuality has the power to scare a neurotic homeschooling mom who measures the spring constant in her young sons' wrists every day after their tennis lessons, just in case. She will fret that a chance remark from some nasty little Publikly Skoold Girl will Turn Her Son Gay. This is the sort of woman who will lie awake every night wondering if she can still call her younger son's charming accent a baby lisp. ;-)

If he's three, she can. If he's thirty-three, maybe it's time to Accept What She Cannot Change.
