You may not agree with the rights of parents to make decisions about education for their children, but wintertime isn’t lying about the police. I personally know a homeschool mom who was faced with the police at her door. (A neighbor called because the children were outside playing during school hours.) There are stories about the police sent to the doors of homeschool families. That doesn’t mean guns are blazing and bullets are flying. Even in cases where only a social worker is sent to the door, suppose that family refused to cooperate with the demands. Of course, the police would become involved eventually. Here are some articles about homeschoolers arrested for homeschooling: http://www.educationreport.org/pubs/mer/article.aspx?ID=4611 http://www.hslda.org/docs/news/200801140.asp There have been plenty of articles right here on this forum about homeschoolers ordered to put their kids into school, such as: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1940251/posts

Not to be snotty here, but unless they had a gun held directly to their head/ or were shot then it has nothing to do with what I called wintertime on.

In case you have not noticed Wintertime like to engage in hyperbole on a regular basis.

Then when I call her on the facts and ask her to document she refuses.

It is a pity because her extremist views give a bad name to others that are both religious and conservative.

Tired of taxes, you might consider having a private conversation with her, She does not seem interested in listening to this USDA approved Male

Just because I've been polite to you (up to this point) does not mean I agree with you. Wintertime is absolutely correct in her criticisms of the public school system.
