Can you please explain how a delinquent kid with guns, hand grenades and a plan to attack a school is an assault by the NEA?

Maybe you should read the article before trying to pin me down. I believe in having all the evidence as I believe you should as well. That said, if you go back and read the article the comment, "Police received a tip call saying the home-schooled teen was plotting an att..."

That was a shot across the bow of all home schoolers that liberals and moderates are coming after us. I realize that it's hard for some of people to follow along so I hope you appreciate the moment I've taken to try to enlighten those that are ignorant of what it is to be a Conservative that loves his/her children enough to keep them away from the worthless scumbags working in the public schools to indoctrinate young children into the unholy life of being a friggin, uneducated communist.

What's more, they had to used a child that was as recently as a year ago enrolled in the public school he is alleged to want to attack. You ask me that alone is an incredible indictment of the public school system and NOT home-schooling.

And you may wish to pay attention. Almost all the "weapons" the police paraded for those in the chicken-little crowd are in fact nothing more than toys.

I was not aware that it was common practice for a home school to have a live hand grenade in the classroom.

You're right that the article was written in a biased, anti-homeschooling way. (My family lives near this town, and they say homeschooling is being mentioned at the top of all the news reports on this story.)

Mentioning homeschooling at the top is biased because it doesn't explain why he was so angry at the school. Here's how it should've been written:

Police received a tip call saying the home-schooled teen former student was plotting an attack on Plymouth-Whitemarsh High School. The teen reportedly was bullied in school, and he was removed from the school by his parents to homeschool 18 months ago.

It's still appropriate to mention homeschooling because it tells us what he's been doing since leaving school. But, the story makes more sense when the reader knows at the top that this is a former student.
