I am really advocating that parents, especially homeschoolers, should go after the thousands of tax dollars they pay every year for public schools. I don't know of anyone who would no want the money for their children. Its not enough to keep the children out, you have to kill the funding to evil.

And the way the states are hurting for money right now, at least my my current state (OR) they are squeezing taxpayers more and more. The whole system is so FUBAR right now that I can only pray for divine intervention - and that people who are right minded get the strength, wisdom and determination to try to change the direction our country is taking. One thing that encourages me (aside from finding FR!) is that the homo Nazis, leftist traitors, etc are revealing themselves more and more for what they are, taking off their masks, so to speak. And this may give us strength - and help people who are sitting on the fence realize that they have to be in the light or be in the dark and they have to make a choice about it.

I can tell you that homeschoolers, in general, are disinclined to seek tax dollars for their homeschools because of the strings that would come attached to it. Other simply want to fly below the radar, preferring to have the government unaware of their homeschooling.

The absolute last thing homeschoolers is more regulations, red tape to sift through. Some of us live in states where complying with homeschooling laws is still fairly simple, but that's not the case everywhere. It is something, though, that we must constantly watch because the educrats and NEA won't rest as long as homeschoolers are free to ignore their dictates.

Would I like to no longer fund the disgrace that is our educational system? Absolutely. I do not, however, wish to do it by claiming that I, as a homeschooler, am entitled to funds for our homeschool.
