I don't know if he's joking or not, but none of us can deny that the NEA and liberals in general would love to see home schooling done away with. I very much doubt they will succeed - at least not in the near term. That doesn't mean they won't do whatever they can to disrupt homeschooling and keep it from becoming widespread.
It's good to hear you singing a different tune. Your first post, asserting that home schooling would be illegal soon, was so off-the-wall, that I jumped to the conclusion that you were pre-millenial. Who else would assume that a steadily expanding move of God could be so easily snuffed out? A reformation is underway -- millions of Christian families are thinking and acting in more Biblical ways, and we have yet to see what God will do for His glory. Meanwhile, it's great to have a piece of the action!
