On November 30, the "Snooze & Disturber" published an hand-wringing editorial bemoaning the paucity of statist "quality" control over home school kids. It seems that 38,000 tarheels are off the reservation, and "we" must be concerned, you see.
Grammatically speaking, the first person plural is, in newspeak a euphemism for the state and its coercive elements.
Thanks for reminding me why I cancelled my subscription to the Noise and Disturber.
You go, TS! I've often said, if The State wants kids, it had better da**ed well learn to make its own.
