All I've asked for is an explanation as to what CR is and how it relates to the religious homeschooling phenomenon. Is there a connection and, if so, should we be worried about the connection?

Even if they are filling their kids head with this, I would still fight to the death for their right to do so. I don't see what people would want to do, take away their right to homeschool? What's the issue here?

I guess I'm bothered by the fact that posters on this thread who appear to be pro-CR refuse to give a straight answer as to the whole phenomenon. Instead, they've resorted to personal attacks and demanding that this thread be pulled. That's my issue.

I don't know about the motivation for this thread, but I have observed that the goal of most homeschool bashing is to take away the right to homeschool. Leftists don't like parents, rather than the state, educating children, as the home educated tend to grow up much more conservative than the average. Even worse, homeschool families tend to be much larger than government school families. If this trend continues for a few generations, the homeschoolers will outvote their opponents.

One would think this outcome would be a cause for rejoicing to Freepers, and I'm sure it would be for most. But as we all know, there are quite a few regular posters on Free Republic that aren't all that conservative. Their aim seems to be to disrupt the free and friendly discussion of conservative ideas and to annoy Christians enough that they exile themselves to the Religion ghetto.
