I love HSLDA, but this babe’s journalism is counterproductive - it sounds just like the New York Times gushing about Stalin, in the 1930s and 1940s.

Noting counterproductive about it in the least.........

She could just write: “...HSLDA, an organization that works to support homeschoolers...”

Yes, she could - but THAT would be counterproductive.

This was is direct, and intentional, hit on HSLDA specifically and homeschoolers in general. While I do not appreciate how those of us who have kids in public school or work in them are often treated around here by some homeschoolers, even we know a direct attack when we see one. And this definitely fits in that category.

I was about to say that it was funny that the local FR teacher’s union hadn’t shown up with pitchforks and torches as they do for most homeschooling issue threads.

But the victim card is always a weapon of last resort.

You’re confusing me. Her last name is Farah...she’s got to be the daughter of the founder of WND...a legendary website.

I think that she was trying to play-up HSDLA...which is not necessary - as everyone that has anything to do with home schooling knows who they are. I’m just saying that it looks tacky.
