I’ve noticed that the home school crowd has been fairly quiet on these threads.
I don’t know about that. I was homeschooled and commented on the previous thread about how I thought this guy might be an extreme case of the homeschool rebel that had turned his back on Christianity and everything that his parents believed. However, it sounds like he had much worse problems than simple rebellion and bitterness.
Because this has nothing to do with home schooling. The guy was 24 years old. How is home schooling pertinent (other than as a liberal “narrative”)?
Oh, please! Every time a homeschooler is involved in a crime, the MSM touts it like crazy. How often do you see news coverage which says, “This criminal was a public school student.” Sheesh! There are families who are crazy who homeschool for the wrong reasons. Please don’t paint us all with the same brush.
Here’s a homeschooling voice (mine):
Sometimes, people homeschool because the children can’t fit into public or private school due to behavioral or medical reasons. They try to take responsibility for their own kids, and not dump them in a public setting where they disrupt other students or don’t do well due to issues in the schools.
I don’t know this family’s story, so I’m not about to condemn them for doing what they thought was best for their child. I don’t know enough about the situation yet.
I’ll put my homeschooled, full college scholorship, graduated with highest honors, in less than three years, who have never given their parents one minutes worry that they would be in any kind of trouble up against any kid in any government school in the nation.
Whatever you might be implying doesn't even make sense from a logical comparison...the two girls shot were apparently home schooled as well...so would you be implying that was the reason they were victimized?
Violent crime happens. Domestic violent crime happens. We don't go around blaming victims for their lifestyle, do we? Whose at fault in a fatal stalker scenario when the stalker is the ex-husband? Would you be implying the family is at fault because the ex-husband came out of that family? Isn't the "ex" factor the key word?
This was a 24-year-old man who apparently "hated Christians." MSNBC and CBS both had that as their online headlines last night. These were criminal acts of hatred, not an internal love fued.
What?
I supose if a person does something wrong it is based on where they went to school and not thier own personal choices of behavior? Shame on you.
I homeschooled three and one is an AF officer, one is finishing a degree in Russian and the youngest is working her way to a teaching degree, none have ever been in trouble with the law, all vote, pay taxes, know how to shoot and own firearms and ......
I guess all people that went to Berkely in the 60s are freaks too ?
If I am coming across rather peeved, I am. Millions of homeschooled citizens contribute to our society in great ways every day, no comment required!
Since this fruit loop used a gun, I guess all of us who do as well are criminals waiting to happen? You logic (lack thereof) astounds me! You sound like, like a LIBERALDEMOCRAT!
