Homeschooling reason ping

While I understand the sentiment, this repeated suggestion is a horrible cop-out, a call to surrender our civil liberties and attempt to withdraw behind private fortifications. But if your civil liberties are not safe in the public commons what will protect your civil liberties on your own property?

Oh I agree with you but the two aren’t mutually exclusive. I can refuse to sacrifice my children at the alter of liberal gods and still fight against this.

Public schools are an abysmal failure and yet the answer is always more tax money.

A gun.

But children are defenseless. Even if you brief them on what to do they are liable to back down in the face of authority.

Better for me to homeschool my kids than spend time in jail for ripping the persons who did this limb from limb.

What should parents do? Should they throw their children into the fires of Moloch hoping to put out the flames?

Sorry,,,but children should **not** be used as political foot soldiers sent out to fight an adult's battle in the atheistic, Secular Humanist government indoctrination camps. Neither should children be used a missionaries to bring a little “salt and light” to the government schools.

Finally, the best way to fight the government schools is to work to shut them down. Removing children is one of the most effective ways to do that.

While I understand YOUR sentiment for not “copping out” on keeping our freedoms in our public squares and institutions, I still don’t want the experiment to fight the system taking place on MY kids. (Hence I homeschool.)
