"We've seen the extent to which the educational establishment influences public school curricula, often in directions that many parents – not just homeschooling ones –would consider repugnant."

Boy, howdy, and THAT is the truth. A colleague showed me yesterday a sheaf of extracts from books on the summer REQUIRED READING LIST for SEVENTH GRADERS which is just page after page of sheer pornography. Needless to say, the parents are up in arms, but getting zero response from the school board about it.

And this is for SEVENTH GRADERS, no less. One wonders what filth the high-schoolers are REQUIRED to read.

- Homeschooled ACT scores = 22.8

- Public school ACT scores = 21

-- Gosh, only 8% higher ACT scores for homeschooled kids!

- Amazing how the public schools and the media present the ACT scores to make it appear only a tiny 1.8 point difference!

- Whatever happened to obvious test scoring based on 100 points or 99 percentile points?

I guess the parents could get together and tell the schools that they won't let that filth in their houses.

Or, if parents are smart, they could tell the schools that the school's values don't mesh with the parents' and as a result, the parents will have to start their own schools.

Believe me, it's being.
