One of the reasons I have not started to home school is that I don't know just how NJ or my town will react. The second reason and (its not meant to sound lame) is that all last summer I tried to teach my daughter and she just doesn't seem to respond to me as well as she does to anyone else. I am very upset over this Garden State Equality Group and its director Steven Goldstein. I am tired of the gays pushing their agenda, their propaganda etc on our children. I liked it better when they minded their own business. If they want to be gay and live their lifestyle fine. But why do they feel the rest of us have no rights? Or that they have the right to teach our children about being gay? I don't feel my child needs to be taught about diverse lifestyles or about being gay in the lower grades. I feel its up to me, as the parent to teach my child about gays and in the time when I feel its right. These people need to stop pushing their BS on the rest of us.

I homeschooled one of my children here in NJ for a year and a half - I told the school I was withdrawing him and did it. Never heard from the state. When it was time for him to go back, I contacted the school and they ran some tests on him to confirm he was at grade level.

I had the hardest time getting him to write but we did fairly well with the rest of it.

Lawyers representing a Massachusetts school district ... have said teachers at Estabrook Elementary School have a "legitimate state interest"...

That is the bottom line in a public government school. They are working for a state interest. Public school has been a nationalized socialist institution for a long time even though most people probably don't think of it that way.

This is exactly what will happen to all of healthcare if it is socialized. The government will run it and its main purpose for existing will be to serve the state interest not the patients.
