You may well be a good guy, a conservative, a Christian and seriously so in all cases, but you work in the government's school system. For triple your salary no homeschooling parent ought to want to be caught dead doing what you do where you do it. If you could understand the depth of the homeschooler's despising of government schools, it would be obvious to you that none of us would ever, under any circumstances, lend aid and comfort to government schooling.

There is no point in dialogue. There is only the commitment to protect our children from exposure to government schools and their agendas and the commitment to resist being forced to fund government schools and their despicable programs and agendas. We have the government's gun to our heads to confiscate the tax dollars that support the monstrosity that government education has become. We may have no choice but to fund it until we have succeeded in shutting it down altogether. So far, we still have the freedom to protect our children from it and to urge others to do so.

If you are actually conservative and actually Christian, get out of a system that encourages abortion, wncourages homosexuality, mangles history, and serves only to provide education for drones while perverting the minds and morals of its charges, and, whatever you do, get any kids out of such a system if you can.

Governemnt schools are the parochial schools of secular humanism and worse. Remember Christ's words to those who would harm children that they would be better off having a millstone hung around their necks and be cast into the sea.

If you are tempted to assume that I am just some ignorant anti-government school bigot, I will leave that for you and others to decide but I am an alumnus of a Jesuit prep school so long ago that the Jebbies were still Catholic and have a doctorate in law. My wife graduated Yale. No child of ours has ever set foot in a government school. May that always be the case.
