You'll find no flame here. It's worth noting, however, that people make the same claims about Christian homeschoolers: that they keep their kids in prisons of Christian belief and tradition (please note I am a Christian homeschooler).

I kinda wish they would do a little more home schooling. Home schooling a little closer to home. Mecca, Medina, Cairo I don't care which home.

I hate to tell you this, but “assimilation” is not what is promoted in public schools in the USA. It’s all multi-culti and diversity.

Homeschooling is not segregating, unless your hiding from the country around you. Christian homeschoolers are doing the right thing for the right reasons.

[paudio]

Yep, like it or not, the reasons of why the two groups keeping their children out of the public system would be similar (although the contents in which the two groups are trying to keep from are different).

[goseminoles]

I say let them homeschool. That’s their choice. Especially if they require special diets, prayer time, and seperate holiday schedule.

I agree with you entirely. In light of the recent Ft. Jackson incident I question as to why Islam is tolerated in a free society. It’s aggressive aims and it’s intolerant and hostile beliefs are completely opposite of Judeo-Christian Civilization.

Amazing, isn’t it how the threat of having your head cut off by the very people you’re writing about will make one say the glowingest things about the head-choppers.
