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?

I doubt the media would ever report it. I don't hear about too often. Yes, the spin is very obvious.

From the article:

Lewis and Clark County Sheriff Sam McCormack said Monday morning that a motive for the killings was sketchy. However, he said that 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.

I don't think the article is spinning the homeschooling aspect in this case. After all, since comments made by the sheriff indicate a known (most recent?)argument between husband and wife was about homeschooling, It is fair to mention it.

...now if the wife had just submitted to her husband and continued to homeschool the kids, this might not have happened.

Exactly! I expect this couple argued about a lot of things. But the LIBERAL media walks hand in hand with the teachers' unions.
