how about attention homeschoolers:

Do you really think a Democrat Party majority, which is proped up by the NEA and the FTA is going to just let people NOT go to public school?

In germany they are putting home school parents in Jail.

If Baptists want to home school they had better know where their best chance of independence lies.

Well, I happen to be a Democrat, and I do think the Democrats will just let people not go to government school. Not because the leadership of the Democratic party necessarily wants that to happen, but because they really have no choice if parents don't want to use the government schools.

Every state in the country allows for home education. Some regulate it fairly extensively, but every state allows it. And the number of home educators and their supporters is just too large at this point to be able to simply throw up the barricades. And private schools are of course legal in all 50 states as well.

And then there is the aspect of home education and private education that you're not going to see talked about much on a conservative website. Some of those on the political left (including teachers) send their own children to private schools. And some are home educating their children, too. Hard to believe as it might be to, there are some left secularists out there who think that the government schools are too conservative. And they want nothing to do with it.
