If you're defensive about criticism of California, you've got real problems. Its reputation speaks for itself.
You remind me of the punk that wore a dress to high school and then was whining that people made fun of him.
Besides, I assume from your handle that you are a home-schooler. CA is going to stop you from that. You will have to put your kids back in government school.
When I was a kid, CA education was A#1. Now, all CA education has to be thankful for is........Arkansas.
Every state in this great country has its difficulties and challenges. To say Californians have no brains is an ignorant post. Please consider that Jim Robinson, owner of this board, is from California, along with millions of conservatives striving for what's right. We're here to fight hard.
Assuming you're from Ohio...or Arkansas...or Tennessee...I'm sure I could come up with some real doozies of comments about your fine state. Ahem.
Yes, I'm a homeschooler. And no, California is not going to stop me (us) from schooling at home. Delaine Eastin is a Tempest in the Teapot. Obviously you know nothing of what's going on in this state with regard to home education.
Have a nice day.
