That's where it is up to us, the conservative parents, to raise kids who are aware of our country's history, who CAN read, write, and do some math, so that they can take on positions of responsbility in this country when they're adults.

Exactly my thought. And exactly why we will homeschool our children when we have them. To say you won't have kids because you don't want to bring them into such a liberal world - pure nonsense. In that case, you are only perpetuating the problem. When liberals reproduce more and conservatives reproduce less, there end up being more liberals and fewer conservatives. Luckily, I think the "childfree" movement is generally more common among liberals.

We're bringing our youngest son back home next year. He's in a Catholic all boy's high school, that's a good school, but he's just not the sit all day in school type kid. We homeschooled him for a couple of years before he went to high school, so I know he'll do his work, and we are just finishing up with our daughter who 'graduates' this year, so we have some experience with it. He, and we, are looking forward to the freedom that homeschooling provides. He's old enough to do most everything on his own, with the exception of Math, which Dad will help him with, and Physics, which he'll take a the local Community College.

We didn't start homeschooling them until they were in 6th and 8th grades, though we'd thought about it for years, even when the older two boys were in their elementary years. I just could never get myself geared up for it; I guess I liked the socialization of school with PTA, etc. By the time the two younger kids were in middle school, I figured I'd socialized about as much as I could stand. I still do stuff for the Parish and Girl Scouts, but school fundraising, etc, is one big layer of stuff that's taken away, and next year I won't have Girl Scouts, either! WooHoo!
