I agree. The homeschooling community only needs to promote positive views of homeschooling. Period. Don't give “them” anything negative to say about a wonderful movement.

I am not concerned with paying taxes to send other people's children to school. We are blessed to live in a country where everyone is required to go to school, where a huge majority of the students learn to read, and as a result they have an opportunity to succeed. I am so thankful I do not live in a country where the poor are illiterate and have no chance of changing their circumstances.

Even though our schools need improvement, and a free market education system would be wonderful for the purpose of making these improvements, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. We live in an amazing country, and part of what makes it amazing is that every child has the opportunity to be educated. Let's focus on what will improve our schools, not complain because we have to pay taxes on something we do not use.

I wouldn’t complain as much if the public schools actually did a good job educating kids in things other than tolerance, the homosexual agenda, multiculturalism, revisionist American history, and weren’t liberal indoctrination centers.
