And the rest of us parents and kids (even homeschooling?) are just "sluts." <BR/><BR/>See the latest <A HREF="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=92457" REL="nofollow">antisocial lunatic logic for homeschooling as religion, in World Net Daily</A>.<BR/>It makes their blind touchiness crystal clear and suggests to me we need a whole different word to differentiate non-religious homeschooling from religious homeschooling. <BR/><BR/>We're following this case at Snook too, with more than 80 comments already <A HREF="http://cockingasnook.wordpress.com/2009/03/14/3621/" REL="nofollow">on the side of homeschooling as an education choice</A>, not as religion itself. <BR/><BR/>That's not even comparing apples to oranges, more like confusing educational apples with poisonous orange-flavored kool-aid and having the public turn against organic apples as a result.JJ Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03493570025415687789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14114569.post-44031697538018948512009-03-21T19:58:00.000-05:002009-03-21T19:58:00.000-05:00Great post--so glad you kept up with the issue.
