Some homeschoolers don't join HSLDA because of their politics

Really?

I do not recalled any litmus test being required. And prolly the wife and I would be out of step with 99% of homeschoolers; she is Catholic and I am Orthodox.

In fact, Julianne was invited to leave a pro-life abortion alternative organization, when she would not sign one of those "66 Books in the Bible, period" sgreements.

Fine. That was their right. But, I have seen nothing exclusionary from HSLDA. Whatever. I consider membership in HSLDA as basic as medical insurance.

It's not that HSLDA requires any religious tests, but that some families object to HSLDA's being staffed, largely, by fundamentalists, and disagree with some of the positions they take on legislation.

Not all homeschoolers are religious, or politically or socially conservative. I ran into some weird people and weird stuff when I was researching "unschooling" last year, including a few sites attacking HSLDA.
