Consider what?

[newgeezer]

You really want to take the fun out of my day, don't you?

Frankly, a simple "[grin]" at the end would be better than nothing. Your "humor" is otherwise much too subtle for some of us.

[Khepera]

The liberals will stop at nothing to sodomize you and your children.

[Khepera]

At least bigots have things they believe are absolute. Without bigotry none of us would stand firmly for any idea. We would be constantly changing our minds on everything. We would never be able to say that we "Believed" in anything. Being a Bigot is really a good thing.

So, will they suspect the public schools as the cause of every shooting that occurs outside of homeschools and act accordingly?

I didn't think so.

Does anyone know what the stats are for child abuse? Stats for those who attend public school vs. those who are homeschooled/private schooled? We ought to find out and blow this notion out of the water.

[mykdsmom]

It would be interesting to know but I wouldn't have a clue how to find out.

Yep, and too much violence in the Bible. Although in govt. schools, they show you how to engage in immoral behavior.

Have bannana, will teach....

Right. And murder/suicide is NEVER heard of among kids attending public schools!

You beat me to the point--this article is a major crock!!

[Rytwyng]

I thought most people homeschooled so their kids wouldn't have to go to school with blacks.

Never heard that one before. Where did you get this idea?

As far as I know, the genesis of the homeschool movement was purely religious -- it was an attempt to shield children from the leftist antireligious brainwashing that takes place in government schools. Later, as academic standards plummeted, plenty of non-religious parents began home education in order to be sure their kids could read. I've never heard of ANYONE pursuing homeschooling with a racist motive.

[fogarty]

Yeah, and you were public-schooled. That alone is a great reason to go home-schooling.

Candidate for quote-of-the-day

Everyone knows that only nutjobs homeschool their kids, and that's exactly what homeschooling turns kids into: nutjobs. I wouldn't be suprised if Osama bin-Laden was homeschooled. I know Stalin and Mao were, and look how they turned out!

Before I call you an a-hole, I will give you the chance to admit this was sarcasm.

Stalin homeschooled? He was a student at a Christian seminary in Georgia. I've seen a photograph of him in his school uniform.

[aristeides]

Actually, before the religious right turned to homeschooling because of the deterioration of the public school system, leftist hippie parents were homeschooling their kids. This goes back to the 60's. Look at Holt's books. He thought schools suppressed the individuality of students.

Homeschooling started on the left.

[aristeides]

This would be an appropriate thread on which to put your links about sexual abuse by public school teachers.

[wingnuts'nbolts]

More leftist dribble to keep the money flowing to the school system that is failing. Thank you Andrea Yates!!!!
