...entering prestigious colleges like Harvard and Yale.

Not a slam against homeschoolers in general, but those who take such pains to "protect" their kids from the ravages of a public school education, and then eagerly enroll them in Ivy League schools--the epicenter of the most outrageous, Leftist bias in education on the face of the planet--are hypocrites, no mistake.

They like the cachet of these schools, and are suddenly willing to throw away the very principles they SAY they espouse, in giving these places money and opprobrium to continue their vile slanders against America.

Pretty disgusting.

I'd have to say that if the kids haven't been inoculated against looney ideas by that age, then there's something wrong. There have been plenty of conservatives that have graduated from the Ivy League, so it's clearly possible to pass through without getting your ideology warped.

Just as you are more prepared an able to resist indoctrination by the leftist/marxist profs at your age and wisdom, so are the kids who have solid grounding in common sense.

My grandchildren are homeschooled, and I'm confident of their future skills against the progessive/liberal (or whatever they'll be calling themselves in 10 years) devils.

Personally, I would not pay to send my children to an Ivy League communist indoctrination center; however, I do not necessarily fault parents who do. Hopefully, my children will have values instilled in them by the time they go to college and will recognize left wing bias when they see it. In elementary school, they are just too vulnerable to liberal brain washing.

I don't think so Illbay. There is a growing segment of secular homeschoolers who are doing this for academic reasons alone. Many of those are leftists so it is with pride they send thier kids to these institutions. There concern was not with the agenda in schools, but the academics. Have met some of this type first hand in the homeschooling community. I would bet my bottom dollar the majority of those going into the Ivy League come from these families I mentioned and not the God fearing, American loving homeschoolers.
