I had a commie tell me once that our children belonged to the state. The conversation did not end well for her.

Hickenlooper is what happens to your state when it is 100% CALIPORNICATED!

[Pollster1]

Hickenlooper’s gun law was shockingly evil - trampling our God-given and constitutionally-protected natural right to defend ourselves. That single sin is decisive, and it requires a response similar to my reaction to a rapist (for the good reason that he reduced the ability of women to defend themselves against bigger, stronger attackers), so that I would not trust him or support him for any office under any circumstances. However, even someone as disgusting as that petty tyrant should be criticized only when it is deserved.

“Government should do what people individually can’t do, or can’t do well themselves. You know, educating our young people . . .” It is my absolute responsibility to ensure that my children are educated, but the government has an essential role in supporting me in that responsibility. I am extremely good at math (multiple prestigious degrees in the field, followed by a long and lucrative career applying that math). I am more than proficient in communicating clearly and grammatically. I know science up to a high school level and beyond. But when it comes to the arts, most foreign languages, and some other fields, educating my kids would not have gone well. Education is a shared responsibility, where we should expect to pick up the slack and correct errors in government schools, while the government picks up the slack and fills in gaps in what we do with our children.

Thanks for the article SeekAndFind, "...Government should do what people individually can’t do, or can’t do well themselves. You know, educating our young people...&" I guess it IS Government we'll need after all! Plus- They will Make Jobs, unlike a Business ..at least according to Hillary!!! let's see: -MORE UNION Teaching jobs , UNION Janitor jobs, Liberal School Books writers to change history, more Union School Bus Drivers, etc., and ALL picked & ran by State & Local Democrat & Liberal ( ACORN!) Playbacks for Campaign Donations! It Also Means MORE 15-19, uneducated but now Easier to Reach & Control teens, just waiting to be peer-pressured by Liberal, Union Teachers to join Anti-American Rallies ; Carry Mass-Produced; ELECT-A-CUBAN, Pro-ILLEGAL-ALIEN Citizenship & Pro-Abortion Rallies, all BUSED ON TAX PAYERS MONIES for free to them!

The government is populated with people who say they know better than you on how to run your life. These same people wouldn’t know how to pour water out of a boot if the instructions were printed on the bottom (love those grandad quote).

The apotheosis of Government defines the left. The Government is omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent in our lives, from cradle to grave.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Private companies pave roads...

[L,TOWM]

Well, considering that neither of my children ever set foot in a government school until they hit college, I would tell the governor that he is full of s-—t. And if you are curious, my daughter has put 5 semesters of college behind her, magna cum laude at the community college, full ride academic at a four year, and just nailed 5x5 A’s for a 4.0 her first semester there. The other one has a 3.5 GPA in a fashion design program and is already creating ART with clothes.

You and the horse you rode in on, guv’ner...

[Vaduz]

The government is the problem not the answer.

Hickenlooper ready to be sworn in for his second term

[Huskrrrr]

It takes an idiot to raze a village.

Chickenpooper will need reeducation camps to prepare the serfs for say 4+ hour waits to get a drives license. Then of course he will have to convince older Coloradoan that the money belongs to the democratic state and that the serfs are only allowed to posses money for short periods. The human mind will have to be realigned in lockstep with the demoRat government authority.

[Steamburg]

Colorado is rapidly discovering that elections have consequences. But, then again, who set out the previous two elections on purity issues?

[SandRat]

Who’s going to educate the Government first?

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Government is doing that now and look what is and has happened to a once ‘great’ America.

[Milton Miteybad]

Gov. John Chickenpooper: "You know, educating our young people..."

So...when exactly are you going to start doing that, Governor?

I mean...judging from the product of the public schools these days, of course, it's difficult to tell that you're doing anything in that vein at all.
