If you disagree with someone, attack the specific statement where you disagree, not the person, nor the group as a whole.

Or stay off this thread.

I didn't meant to be offensive in particular. I was hoping to point out a little inconsistency here in folks who treasure (and rightly so) the right to educate their kids the way they see fit while at the same time deriding a private business for exercising its right to refuse dealing with certain categories of merchandise, and strangely enough trying to turn it into some sort of "discrimination" case.

It doesn't take much imagination to understand why ebay doesn't wish to carry teachers' editions and test keys. Obviously the main worry is public and private school kids buying answers to their texts, thus ruining schools' investments in books AND opening ebay up to lawsuits with quite substantial proof of harm.

I love home schoolers. Many of my friends ARE home schoolers and a little ticked about ebay too, but they aren't running around threatening lawsuits. The true value of your child's education cannot be expressed in dollars, which is a good thing because raising and educating children is a financial pit under the best of circumstances. This is just a small bump in the road.
