"homeschooling contributes to child abuse?" funny the nuns beating the hell-out-of-us were never called "child abusers" just "disciplinarians" LOL and if we complained to our parents they would just send us back to school to tell the nuns to beat us some more LOL
You had it easy. My dad said if the kids in his day got beat and told their parents, they got a second beating.

The power of the Google search engine allows for the past statements of political operatives like Carla Katz to be brought to the public light.

Fortunately, the hearing did not turn in the direction of whether homeschooling is in need of further regulation.

Not to worry. It soon will. It's really about control. They just can't stand freedom and not being able to get their hand in everybody's cookie jar.

Not that I am a total fan of homeschooling, but it sure works better for most people who are able to do it than public schooling. Kids have been homeschooled for centuries. I suppose there will be some revisionist history about that, too.

I guess they don't have hearings on cleaning up the schools because they know it's a LOST CAUSE!!! Ain't gonna happen.

Never thought I'd see the day when I would be writing something like this. I'm a public school product who learned fairly well but am not any better "socialized" than those they are yapping about.

Social workers contribute to child abuse.

And ignore the scariest cases, often afraid to go after the real crazies in the scary neighborhoods, so they dog the less clear cut cases, to make quota. This per a stenographer friend relating the horrors of some aspects of her job upon the clearing of a popular local teacher of all charges once the court finally acknowledged the many medical experts testifying that her son did indeed have brittle bone disease and was never abused. Three years later.

Next, it'll be that merely being in the home with the parents outside of public school hours is dangerous for all children. So more taxes will be needed to fund school breakfasts for all, after school programs and even overnight programs, which I've heard actually do exist in remote areas.

It is the "foster care industry" that needs to be looked into, not homeschooling

The foster-care industry is big business. There are organizations of black social workers who lobby endlessly to prevent black babies from being adopted by white couples. Why? Because there are more black babies needing adoption than black couples willing to adopt. The excess are placed in foster care. While in foster care, the foster parents are paid money, and social workers have jobs "monitoring" the kids. If the kids were adopted, there would be less budget money in the social service/foster-care industry

The same thing happened to acquaintances of ours who, after taking their child to a major state hospital, were accused of Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome.

Eventually the child was diagnosed with a rare illness. But not before social workers had made this couple's life a nightmare.

It's always the same. The social workers are supposed to have some medical experts to help them, yet they seem to cause grief for families already troubled by a child's condition. Then stories of truly abused children dying at the hands of often known abusers, overlooked by overworked social services. Of course, I keep trying to see the good they do, that these extreme cases always make the news and occasionally the story of some lucky child actually saved comes along. I know it's a difficult job, but... It took this teacher years to pay off the debts caused by maintaining her innocence and trying to get help for her son. Luckily, they had a large extended family who helped with debts and support.
