I believe this with all my heart, to homeschool is a right, not a priviledge, it is my right as a parent to educate my children as I see fit. The state has NO place in it.

The public schools are no longer places for education, they are places for PUBLIC INDOCTRINATION!! I will not and cannot in good conciounce as a parent allow them to indoctrinate my children!!

It is MY RIGHT as a parent to educate my children. I DO NOT need the states permission!!

While I agree with the premise of the article, bashing the HSLDA is not going to endear you to them...of course these people are not going to get support from HSLDA or other such organizations if they run around publicly badmouthing those same organizations over semantics. HSLDA may not have won the "right", but they have contributed greatly to the cause of homeschoolers and I for one commend them for their efforts. And I would not advise any homeschooler to go up against CPS without competent legal advice such as HSLDA can provide, they lie when necessary to gain control of the children.

Great read and thread.

[TontoKowalski]

I'm troubled by this statement in the article:

It has been puzzling and shaking to hear the number of questions, and the nature of the questions asked regarding the details of the case. Support has apparently been considered dependent on “satisfactory answers” to irrelevant questions...

I don't know anything about the case, and I got worn out before I finished the article, but if anyone expects my unconditional support for a family I don't know, without my having any knowledge of the facts, then they're barking up the wrong tree.

It is the nature of the conflict between individual freedom and government that individual freedom is always either advancing or retreating; standing still has never been an option.

Bump.

Hi "Aric2000"!

And there is a poll that requires some serious freeping. If I knew how to set up a link, I would have done so. Perhaps someone here will do that for me. This poll is at the netscape home page.

The fact is, that one of the presidents listed R-E-A-L-L-Y believed in returning the government to the people, Ronald Reagan.

The poll reads:

Which of these recent presidents should be added to Mt. Rushmore?

Bill Clinton: 7%
George Bush H.W. Bush: 3%
Ronald Reagan 34%
Jimmy Carter: 6%
Gerald Ford: 1%
Richard Nixon 2%
Lyndon Johndson: 2%
John F. Kennedy: 44%"*

Thanks!

Folks you need to wake up! In this day and time our government and our system is being run and controlled like the mafia or Red China. I venture to say that today in America on a statistical average as many American citizens as any other foreign countries citizens have their civil rights violated and their freedoms oppressed and this is being done under the guise of "The Rule Of Law" which the last word should be lawless.This really is not a laughing matter.The system of government in America today has to many self centered thoughts and to many controls in place to quieten any dissent.America today is a very dangerous power simply because of those in control and the Constitution is being eroded daily. Your freedom of speech and the right to defend yourself and face your accusers are not allowed under government control and I can prove it,it has just happened to me personally.

[latina4dubya]

i read the article... kind of long, so i may have scanned a paragraph or two--i have no clue what the Bryants are up against, and why CPS has custody of their children... is just because they homeschool? it can't be that... i'm sure they are not the only homeschooling family in Massachusetts... so, why are they in trouble? will somebody please enlighten me about this particular family...
