Absolutely unbelievable..........I'm a raving lunatic, and I never thought about killing my kids when we homeschooled.........
To: CholeraJoe
Another Homeschool mom murders her children. Oh yeah. Obviously homeschooling is evil! The root cause of all this insanity! Let's send our kids to public schools, where at least they'll be safe from shootings... < \sarcasm off >

Ping!
As if you didn't have enough pinging to do, now I'm pinging you to do some more pinging... (Sorry, but I just had to).

They were in public school and the mother didn't want to homeschool.
Or did I read it differently than everyone else.
To: Free Trapper
They had been homeschooled for a period of time and the mother wanted to send them to public school. The father was opposed to it.

Don't laugh too hard--this will be exactly what some people will be saying.
To: Free Trapper
Swanson and her husband had argued last week about Swansons decision to enroll the two children in school in Augusta Gene Swanson wanted his wife to continue to home school the kids on the ranch while she wanted them to attend public school. The children attended their first classes at school in Augusta last week she enrolled them in public school, not wanting to homeschool any further and he, apparently, disagreed with the choice.

One can tell from your monniker that you are a truly evil individual.
Everything COBOL should Remain COBOL.

The children attended their first classes at school in Augusta last week.
They were already back in public school.

Ten to one that NOW blames this whole thing on the husband like they did with Andrea Yates.

Sadly, these crimes happen very often. But, when the parents of public school students murder their children, we never hear: "A public schooler murdered her children." Yet, I'd almost bet that happens much more often. Now, we're going to hear again how homeschooling "is too stressful for parents to handle", and the anti-homeschool people like the NEA will use this tragic story, too, against us.

Gene Swanson wanted his wife to continue to home school the kids on the ranch while she wanted them to attend public school. Wouldn't it have been easier if she'd just shot him?
To: CholeraJoe
Don't you see the spin on this article?
They could have said the mom uses acne medicine, instead of homeschooling, and everyone would have commented on that and the homeschooling comments would not have come up.
Were the children killed because of homeschooling?
Did the mother kill because she homeschooled?
This is as bad as the garbage people in "conservative" circles are swallowing about the lies and spin in the media about GW! Absurd!
How about a statistic of children in public schools (or private) murdered by their parents?
To: Corin Stormhands
Wouldn't it have been easier if she'd just shot him?We have a winner, folks.
