I ping the Another Reason to Homeschool list about goings on in the public education system because that’s what the list is for.

It’s not just another *Duh* comment. It’s to keep homeschoolers abreast of what is going on in the public schools, and curriculum changes like that are of interest to homeschoolers.

We need to know what’s going on with textbooks because we buy them ourselves and need to make informed decisions about them. And we have say as taxpayers regardless of our decision to avail ourselves of public education.

It, however, is still a legitimate reason to homeschool, regardless of whether it is blindingly obvious to us, because it is not so obvious to others, like the morons who think that this kind of revisionism is OK.

Good point, metmom! I am involved in our local school district because A) I still pay taxes for them, B) The kids that go to school there are my son’s peers and I care about them as well and C) I really hate how lopsided the system is and how it aims to growing little socialist democrat voters, so they can be in power forever!

I agree, but mentioning it to this group who is already sold isn’t necessary...in fact, I wish we could to it, but can’t at this time, and we are, sacrificing in many other ways. It just adds salt to it.
