*ping

[hobbes1]

Maybe she can be shot while trying to escape....

[xsmommy]

at least i have the good sense to send mine to Catholic school! one must know one's limitations!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Absolutely unbelievable..........I'm a raving lunatic, and I never thought about killing my kids when we homeschooled.........

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.

The children attended their first classes at school in Augusta last week.

They were already back in public school.

[Tired of Taxes]

Swanson and her husband had argued last week about Swanson’s 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.

Apparently, she's a homeschooler who didn't want to be a homeschooler.

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?

[RedBloodedAmerican]

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?

[TxBec]

Actually, this was a *homeschool-minded DAD* and a *PUBLIC-SCHOOL-minded* mom.

[Intimidator]

Swanson’s husband, Gene, was sleeping in a camp trailer outside the residence when the shootings occurred

Dang this dude was still in the doghouse after a week. Maybe she should have shot him instead.

[Spiff]

You're wrong- the article clearly states that the kids had just started their first week in public school. So, she was not a home shool mom anymore.

[lizma]

And just when I thought the method of choice for the pro-public school mom was baking them in cars.

You should read your articles before you post and comment on them.

Another Homeschool mom murders her children. Of course this one happened in Montana where wacko is a way of life

Actually, the kids were enrolled in public school so I guess your comment should read, "Another public school mom murders her children."

Having said that, there must be more to this story. The kids were enrolled in public school like mom wanted. Why did she shoot them?

[dubyagee]

It's just another woman crazy enough to murder her children. The 'whys' shouldn't even come into play here.
But of course, they will.

[RikaStrom]

Sweet Mercy .... What is it with psychos killing their kids. I mean, there has to have been some sign that this lady wasn't right in the head.

[CWRWinger]

son reported to authorities that his mother had a .38 Smith and Wesson gun

This woman was PC all the way, right down to a 'politially correct' firearm. The husband was taking the moral high ground in their childrens' education and she wanted no part of it. Feminazism has left its mark.

[glory]

Well she technically was not a homeschool mother when she made the decision to shoot them--they were going to public school.
