You quoted me:
"However, people who work in ...the educational industry should be considered more authoritative that some random person."

Then went on to say:
Wow!

That is one of the wildest posts I have ever read! Anyone else want to jump on the educational industry bandwagon?

One of the things I hate the most about evolution threads is how I, and others, get taken out of context. Here's the full context:

Are only science profs capable of commenting on the state of University education, and the leftist elites who OWN it?

To which I replied:
No. Anyone may comment on the state of education. However, people who work in the sciences and in the educational industry should be considered more authoritative that some random person.

You're selective quoting seems to portray me as saying the educational industry is right and ordinary people are wrong. However, from the full context my meaning becomes apparent. For example, someone who works in the petroleum industry is going to be more authoritative when discussing the gas and oil business than someone who does not. What is so wild about this? Nothing. This stands to reason.

I happen to be a strong supported of homeschooling, and intend to homeschool my children. My mother in law is a retired elementary school teacher, and she's going to help my wife and I out.

That's fine. Good clarification. Glad to see you aren't on the educational industry bandwagon.
