Homeschooling aka tele-school Is a major goal of the WEF. This provides all children across the globe with the same education.

In the late 90’s when we started, I dubbed homeschooling “the counter culture of the 90’s”, right here on Free Republic. It has grown so mainstream it is no longer a counter culture, it is a growing part of American culture.

They absolutely try. There’s an organization called Home School Legal Defense Association (hslda.org) that provides free legal assistance to their members.

For the 25 years we homeschooled it was great to have the knowledge that if the thugs ever came to the door with their unconstitutional directives, all we had to do was hand the m the phone and say “Talk to my attorney.”

HSLDA has an admirable track record of success, both in court and pre-trial, up to and including SCOTUS.

Anyone considering home schooling would be an absolute fool to not join. Especially now. Every student who leaves the school costs the school $10-15000 a year. They want the money back and will do anything they can to scare people back into the goverment school system

Good point and I absolutely agree.

But....As I said, K-12 is like a big fat pimple. It needs to be squeezed from every side.

I welcome anyone who is willing to squeeze.

Even here on Free Republic few Freepers recognize the following:

1) Fundamentally, K-12 schooling is our nation’s first compulsory-funded and compulsory-use socialist program. Children who attend learn that any government powerful enough to give them tuition-free schooling is also powerful enough to give them **lots** of “free” stuff. By the turn of the last century, Marxism impacted our nation.

2) Government schooling violates every First Amendment. human right: Speech, press, assembly, and free exercise of religion.

3) Secular schools are not religiously neutral. Secularism is a religious worldview with serious and non-neutral cultural, political, and religious consequences.

Hm?....This can be used by the freedom loving conservatives, too. Good point you made there!

I agree!

When I homeschooled in late 80s and 90s friends and family would ask, “What’s homeschooling?” The next questions was, “Is that legal?”

I have noticed that auto-correct on my computer no longer separates the word, homeschool, into two words.

I don’t have kids but if I did they would be in private school or home schooled.

It means a large part of a generation not indoctrinated by leftist design.

They're not worried.

The plan is right on track.

We did it for all 12 grades and used Home School Legal Defense Association for legal insurance. Different times.

Yes,.....They are like yeast in bread. A small but righteous minority can have an enormous impact.

Parents need to be careful about private schools, too.

Nearly every teacher in this nation ( private and government) was trained by godless Marxists in Marxist-run colleges.

Scary!

You are right. The next step will be banning homeschooling. It will probably begin by regulating homeschooling.
