Interesting article. Comments are even more interesting. She has some insulting rhetoric for people of faith and conservatives.

To send a child to pub*ic school is akin to forcing them to star into an unflushed toilet each school day.

Remember, liberals are slime.

Pure slime.

Unadulterated slime.

I timidly attended a home school parent meeting last spring. Surprisingly it was full of doctors, lawyers, former public school teachers, and other professionals.

That’s a bit of a stretch isn’t it?

We are not all religious extremists...

That's rather insulting rhetoric right there, and I haven't gotten past the excerpt yet.

Listening to Glenn Beck and his discussion of the Common Core curriculum, there will be no hiding from government control of education even by those who home school. It’s a very scary thing.

These were not the stay-at-home-moms in long skirts that I expected.

"Long skirts"? So now women who dress with modesty and decorum are a red warning flag?

The author is a typical elitist snob and it was the “change” in home schooling that made it acceptable. Obviously, home schooling before the “change” was reserved for an undesirable class of people, certainly not for people of her caliber. One of the comments to the article hit this squarely and expressed concern for such fair-weather support.

Nonetheless, the list she gives is valid. I home schooled my stepson and urge everyone to get your children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews out of the public indoctrination centers.

Hello. My first post since being removed some time ago.

Anyway, I know you, and your family. And I am grateful for the Christian faith, and faith IN ACTION, that you live.

It may be that some readers do not understand that your comments (which may appear to some who are reading hastily to denigrate the people and principles you speak of), have been mentioned or cited by you NOT to denigrate, but rather to express how we of similar faith and action as yours are often portrayed, talked about, and frequently dismissed.

Again, thank you for your public positions, expressions, and faithful actions!

She did, indeed; but what do you expect for someone who went to public school, and has been indoctrinated her whole life into statism ?

At least she took the first step toward mental freedom by attending the group meeting, and then, even more so by homeschooling herself. That made her so nervous, and was so challenging to her embedded public school learned group-think, that she had to re-affirm her solidarity by throwing a few insults at the "Other". It would be too scary otherwise.

She's on the right track, though you were right to point out her insulting words, and maybe a few years of homeschooling will bring her the rest of the way around to clearer thinking. At least her kids have a chance now.

Stereotypes die hard.

I’ve met a few long, denim skirt and sneakers kind of homeschoolers, but even back 15 years ago, there were plenty of professionals homeschooling their kids, college professors included.

Most of the parents had college degrees, and this in backwater Central NY. It was the parents without the education who weren’t homeschooling for the most part.
