“Hopefully we’ll be able to help a lot of people come fall,” Kitchin said.

When KellyAnne Kitchin began home schooling her three sons three years ago, she had difficulty finding curriculum programs that fit her atheist and humanist beliefs.

She should try public skools. She is already a child abuser.

She hopes to create a lending library of resources that humanist, atheist and other nonbelieving home-schoolers can use with confidence.

Das Kapital, the Communist Manifesto, Mein Kampf, Blood and Soil and so on.

Unlike Christians, who cite religious reasons for home schooling, secular parents say they are motivated out of frustration with the poor quality of their local public schools.

Idiot statement. Trying to imply that Christians only home school for the purpose of religious indoctrination, and to hell with education. Only non religious home schoolers are interested in quality education?

Here is an interesting thought. We know that the government has a great antipathy for home schooling, particularly because so many of them are religious. What happens when a significant number of HSers are not "Christians", i.e. "enemies of the state"? Presents the nanny staters with a dilemma.

What a tragic story. This poor lady. I almost started crying half way through her story. (I hope I don't need the sarc tag.)

Good for her. Instead of demanding that society conform to her demands, she used her own resources to create a solution to her problems. I wish parents of “transgendered” students would do the same instead of demand special potty privileges.

This is a really really weird article.
I know a lot of people who homeschool. Generally for more academic rigor than the public schools. Mostly they want hard sciences, mathmatics, and language. God comes into play in very few core areas.

This woman is just using a girbilist to generate free advertising and maybe rope in some young liberal parents too lazy to look into what is out there.

[LadyDoc]

nonsense of course. the original home schoolers were expats: Calvert has been a leader in homeschooling for expats and others for years, and they are secular....and there are lots of non church related programs.

But don't let that stop you from writing an article bashing Christians....

>> humanist

What’s the humanist’s position on killing nascent human life?

[ari-freedom]

Or you can just send your kids to public school for the same result for free.

[gleeaikin]

Home school ping.

The reporter of this article didn’t realize that the modern homeschooling movement was largely begun by atheists like John Holt, whose books influenced unschoolers. How about The Great Books Foundation, which while using some religious books in their curriculum, is not openly Christian. How about Vegsource Homeschooling, a site run by a vegetarian website and filled with secular homeschoolers? I have a suspicion that this lady is just using the media to get free publicity for her curriculum. The method is described in the book, “Trust me, I’m lying: Confessions of a Media Manipulator”
