I had to laugh when I read those comments about the homeschooled children not being indoctrinated into “world views”. This nonsense was written by people who don’t allow for any theory except evolution to be taught in school, and who don’t allow children to wear t-shirts that represent any belief that doesn’t mesh with their own (i.e., a kid can wear shirts supporting homosexuality, but not a shirt with a confederate flag or a cross), and who don’t allow children to learn about or talk about God (only the Muslim one). Ironic, isn’t it?

My children, who are homeschooled, can wear what they please to school in their dining room, and out and about in the world, without censorship, they are at least nominally familiar with the key aspects of all of the major world faiths (Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam), they understand creationism and what the ***theory*** of evolution is (and conclude something akin to Intelligent Design, all by themselves, at the ages of 9 and 13), and they are aware of the existence of such things as homosexuality and transgenderism, though they are equally aware that these are exceptions rather than norms.

The utter ignorance of those posters is laughable, though tragic.

The intolerance of the *tolerant* is laughable, and sad.
