Just that the fact that they were homeschooled has the potential for giving the media ammo against homeschooling in general, ie a black mark against all homeschoolers as in "SEE! Look what the evil homeschoolers were doing! They must all be monitored by the state to ensure proper nutrition!"
Last year the Akron Beacon-Journal did a several part series on such evils of homeschooling, basing their entire premise on the homeschooled foster kids in NJ who were found severely malnourished in a basement, one of them dead. And of course the series completely neglected to mention that DYFS had been to visit the family dozens and dozens of documented times. Can you say agenda?
No matter though - it was all the fault of homeschooling. If they had only been going to public school, the teachers would have seen they were in trouble. Because as we all know, no public school attendees are EVER the victims of secret abuse and neglect. < /sarcasm >
The Beacon-Journal? I hate that liberal rag.
I'm a big proponent of homeschooling, so I was hoping you weren't bashing. Whew.
