This is something that the N&O's very own feminist, Ruth Sheehan, has been covering lately.

See her latest column about Ann Farmer, quoted above, at the link here: Sex ed and the crusader.

From the article:
"What started out as a natural concern for her own daughter, then 10, has grown into a mission.
At this point, Farmer's daughter, Jessica, is a high school senior and is being home-schooled.
But Farmer has not given up the fight."

I wonder why Ms. Farmer is home schooling her daughter?

Maybe so she can teach her according to the liberal sex-ed agenda. Guess she'll be able to put her back in the public school now.

Why this near-obsession with sex ed? She put it to me simply: "I am outraged ..."

Ohhh, boy. She's one of those people. Probly gets "outraged" when she can't take her daughter's sweaters back to Express, too.

Homeschooling is the answer. So many families homeschool in our area, that the local school district is financially destitute, because the state aid that would come with our children doesn't get into their pocket. Our local population is way up and school enrollement is way down. And seemingly, they can't figure out where the children have gone - HOME!

They are having to close an elementary school and lay off staff in droves. Whah! Their bond measure to save their sorry asses is expected to go down in flames. Homeschoolers are now being courted by the PTB to enroll for "select" classes/activities to enhance your home school. It's too funny.

OH boy looky what I just found here.

It's a speak out section on the N & O website where comments can be made on this subject.

MS. Farmer is a very active participant and Dukie '01 looks like he could be a DU participant. Very scary that people have such little regard for theirs and other children's welfare that they are such strong supporters of this.
