If you believe homeschooling is a victory there is not much to say. It is far from it but rather a cessation of the public arena to the enemy.

Its a victory for my kids. Right now thats enough for me as I don't propose to sacrafice them at the alter of a socialist idol.

Well...Is it is moral for me to use my children as foot soldiers in a political tug of war? I don't think so.

As homeschoolers they were immature children. Enrolling them in government school, as means to fight my battle, would have been like the terrorists who strap bombs to the chest of their little children.

My responsibility as a parent was to provide my children with the most excellent educational experience possible. If family circumstances allow it, homeschooling is the ideal situation for any child.

Will other children need institutionalization? Yes, of course they will. This is too bad, but necessary. We need orphanages too, but no one is suggesting that it is the best way to raise a child.

As for the children of others, who must be institutionalized, I am lobbying my congressmen, and attempting to persuade my fellow citizens that government schools are not reformable and must be abolished. I am doing all that I can within my sphere of influence to bring about the privatization of universal K-12 education. It is the moral action to take, and the best I can do for those children who must be institutionalized.
