Oh and the race card was played by you when you said that one of the reasons you homeschool is because of how your african-american children were treated in public schools.

To All:

This person is imagining things that aren't in my posts. I never said such a thing. My children never were in public school (with the exception of a brief stint by my eldest, and he never had that sort of trouble). Many of their friends are public school students. This poster has been misreading everything.

I've also never reported anyone here to the moderators, even though a few people on this thread have been taking cheap shots at me and posting foul-mouthed rants. They keep reporting me for responding. All I've done is (1) ask for one of my deleted posts to be reinstated, and (2) send a clarification to the Mod when this person complained about me.

I'm not going to bother posting directly to this person anymore. I am posting here to "All", just for the record, to continue to set the story straight.

One of the reasons we homeschool is the condescending attitude toward African Americans in the school system. (Note: I'm not saying every teacher and administrator has it, but statements like the one above reflect the general attitude.)

I responded by saying, "One of the reasons we homeschool is the condescending attitude toward African Americans in the school system.... statements like the one above reflect the general attitude. Outside the school system, my children have not been taught to see themselves as victims."
