So, I guess the lapdog media will be all FOR homeschooling, now that liberals want to do it. They’ll consider it a real put-down of Betsy DeVos. Somehow, I don’t think she’ll be losing any sleep over it, but it could help conservative homeschoolers, because I don’t think the libs will put up with the crap we conservative homeschoolers have had to endure for years!

Because the local “conservative” homeschoolers groups were all tied to membership in specific churches/evangelical fellowships, we belonged to a “liberal” homeschoolers’ support group for almost 10 years: pagans, seculars, left-libertarians and the occasional Democrat.

It was a worthwhile group. They didn’t hassle us for being Catholic and even bringing religious themes into the projects we shared. For the most part. (I had to convince one pagan mom that if it was OK for her kid to picture Gaia, it was OK for mine to do Noah.)

Liberal homeschoolers are OK. Like us, they’ve probably more independent-minded than most other members of the herd.
