Wow. A NYT article on successful homeschoolers without a single suggestion that the parents beat their children if they don’t spell well and lock them in cages overnight. What is the world coming to?
You must think in terms of the AP writer's ideological template. This story involves dusky-skinned immigrants who are succeeding here despite all the barriers thrown up by us foreigner-hating, intolerant, racist, red-neck but lily-white Americans. If it had been about the kids of average fundamentalist Christians you can bet implications of whips and cages would have been everywhere -- if the story had been written at all.
