Rick Santorum home schools his children but he does not stand alone on this important issue.
Rick Perry has been advocating for homeschooling families for a very long time.

............”Perry and Santorum are now fighting a virtual tug of war over Iowa’s evangelicals. Reuters reports that Iowa’s evangelicals are moving over to Santorum, because he’s been actively lobbying the homeschool network, and preachers there like him. They like him so much, they want Bachmann to either drop out entirely, or fold her campaign into his. With the departure of Bachmann’s campaign chairman Kent Sorenson over to Paul’s campaign, and the loss of her political director Wes Enos, it would seem it’s time for Bachmann to throw in the towel. Does this mean that she misheard God?
It’s a sticky situation that evangelicals are in. They are splitting the GOP vote to the point where Obama might just win. FOXNews has been very vocal with that fear, but who knows? Only God knows.”

The Santorums started homeschooling independently when it was revealed that they were using a state “virtual public school” program provided by a district in which they did not reside. They could have lived in the district and had the children attend public school, or they could have lived *wherever* and covered their own education costs, as I do. Finagling residency requirements in order to save a few bucks is just tacky.
Mr. Santorum lacks the visceral distrust of all government “help” that an independent Christian conservative should have. The same appears to be true of Gov. Perry ... but he’s not attempting to present himself as someone who shares my principles to that extent, while Mr. Santorum is.
And anyway, by the time we have a North Carolina primary, there will probably be nobody on the ballot but Ron Paul and Bill the Cat, again.
