20 families have just lost children, 6 more have lost family members, and you all look at it as an opportunity to extol the virtues or homeschooling. And it only took 7 whole posts. Why not come out and advocate rescinding the 2nd amendment while you are at it.
And I as the proud guardian of a wonderful 3 year old I must admit my third reaction after hearing the news was what could I personally do to ensure my grandchild is protected from that kind of nightmare. I honestly do not understand why that perfectly natural reaction, stemming as it does from love of family, should be the subject of criticism on a site like FR. Why impose on others our own unique response to horrific news like this? Do you assume it doesn’t reach us how bad this is, just because we instinctively start thinking about the protection of our loved ones?
You might as well ask why, on any of these mass shooting threads, the “first responders” are typically gun rights advocates worrying about losing their guns to stricter gun control. Don’t they care about the children? But of course they do care, and that is exactly why they want to defend gun rights. They want to protect the children who didn’t die today. So it is with home schoolers, or anybody else coming up with thoughts of how to protect the children. Baffling to me that the most natural human reaction, planning for self preservation, should be seen as a negative. Baffling indeed ...
If a drunk driver plowed into a school bus with 20 kids on it and killed them and someone on FR said said drunk driving was bad, you would not accuse them of being in favor of returning to Prohibition. Nor would you think such a comment was making light or insufficiently respectful of the people affected by this horrible tragedy.
So, you sound kind of silly doing it today. Please stop.
How is the comment of *If ever a reason to homeschool????* EXTOLLING the virtues of homeschooling.
You know, homeschool parents did not have to worry that their children were some of the casualties today. Kids are safer at home and it really is another valid reason to homeschool.
Deal with it.
Just because you take your pay from the mammon of the govt indoctrination industry, and you CAN'T JUST LET IT GO FOR ONE DAMN DAY, can't just let people vent their feelings without giving them a little bit of govt flunkie crap.
Do you get paid for this?
