This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

All is not lost, despite all evidence to the contrary.
“Winning” does not begin and end on Election Day Election Season. It is not a one-year or four-year process. Winning, in fact, has very little to do with elections, or laws, or all these terrible things besetting us from every direction. Political victory is far downstream of cultural victory. Andrew Breitbart understood this so clearly.
There is some evidence pointing to a victory, even when it looks like we’re about to lose the country for good.
There is still tremendous strength in our numbers.
74,233,975 people voted for Trump in 2020, a good five million more votes than Obama got in 2008. This official number doesn’t include the ballots SEIU precinct flunkies accidentally lost. We are legion. We are everywhere. Stop acting like you’re alone in your foxhole and go make some friends.
Parents are fleeing public schools.
I don’t care about taking over school boards and education reform. It’s a waste of time. Your kids can’t spend another day in these toxic child processing plants. Get them out, now. Homeschooling, classical schools, pods, and other options exist and people are flocking to them—especially in the worst blue hellholes. “California experienced the 6th consecutive decrease in total Public K-12 Enrollment in the 2022-23 school year (-40,000 students). Over the next ten years, if current trends in fertility and migration hold, a further decline of 661,500 in total enrollment is projected, resulting in total enrollment of 5,191,000 by 2032-33.”
People aren’t having enough babies, but it’s mostly liberals choosing to commit genetic suicide.
Trads, Christians, Catholics, and other baby-friendly types on the Right are still leaning into parenthood and big families. The libs are staying childfree and for good measure, shooting their kids up with “puberty blockers,” which, in a hilarious plot twist, are actually grandchild blockers. They’re wiping out their own genetic lines on purpose! And as I like to say, never interrupt they/them when they’re making a mistake.
