NOT a Republican Foot Soldier
I really expected better from Reuters, then this hatchet job portraying stereotypical homeschoolers.
Homeschoolers are a diverse group just like public school parents are. Some of us are even DEMOCRATS or Independents. By no means are we all Republican Foot Soldiers. In fact my husband is running for office as a Democrat.
Another myth is that homeschoolers are all Christians or that we all teach Creationism. Nothing could be further from the truth . There are Pagan, Atheist, Agnostic, Jewish, and Buddhist Homeschoolers just to name a few, and many homeschoolers believe and teach EVOLUTION.
And contrary to how the Reuters article portrays us their are many PRO-CHOICE homeschoolers that are supportive of both boys and girls being given mandatory vaccinations to prevent the spread of HPV, a sexually transmitted disease.
