Stories such as yours make me very grateful that we’ve managed to stay “under the radar” since our boys were born! It probably helped that we moved a lot. 4 out of 5 could be “diagnosed” as ADD or Autism Spectrum, based on the checklists that the public school use.

When we moved to NC, I was holding my breath as we worked out the kinks to continue the education process for two of my children. Nervous? Ready for a battle? yep. lol. So battle scarred were we. But this is NC, and homeschooling is a whole 'nother story here. We were poker-faced-shocked when there was no eye-brow lifting, no special demands to see if we carried the "mark of Christ" on our foreheads, when we said we were "homeschooled".

Tax-chick, on our move out, and we hit Oklahoma and saw our first Pro-Jesus billboard, we went into shock. "That's allowed here?" was our complete reaction.

And thus you see here, the difference between the SF Bay Area, and elsewhere around the U.S.

Once out of CA, one can see so much clearer how bad things have gotten in the Bay Area. How punched down people are in the Bay Area.

When you live there, you move through the hoops as best you can. But once away from it, you get to see the awful enormity of what is and has been taking place in the San Francisco Bay Area.
