“Nothing worse than homeschool parents trying to tell us legislators how to run public schools when they don’t use them themselves,” State Rep. Byrnes wrote.

Let's follow that logic on a few other points:

1. Nothing worse than tax consumers trying to tell us legislators how to allocate public expenditures when they don’t contribute anything themselves.
   
2. Nothing worse than anti-war activists trying to tell us legislators how to vote on issues of defense when they don’t serve themselves.
   
3. Nothing worse than anti-police activists trying to tell us legislators how to handle things in crime ridden neighborhoods when they don’t live there themselves.
   
4. Nothing worse than environmental exteremists trying to tell us legislators how to protect predatory species like wolves and coyotes when they don’t live in areas or work in occupations impacted by them themselves.
   

   We could make quite a list, couldn't we?

   Plus the homeschoolers have more right to a say than any of the foregoing examples since they are taxed to pay for the public schools and impacted by the results.

Excellent list.

I sent Rep Byrnes an email. Thank you for the inspiration:

5. Nothing worse than elitist, statist, career politicians trying to tell the common folk how wonderful the public schools are while 90% or more of them send their own kids to private schools.

We could really make quite a list if we keep trying.

In some states homeschoolers report to the government schools.
