Home Schoolers Lose Ground with New Law (Arkansas - Mike Huckabee Alert)

THE HOME SCHOOL COURT REPORT ^ | MAY/JUNE 1999 | HSLDA

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

This man is a complete fraud. Conservatives supporting Huckabee ought to be ashamed of themselves.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

BTTT

[pissant]

There are very few conservatives supporting him. Only people that call themselves that.

[nmh]

It’s tough to get through to them.

They’re emotional zombies.

FACTS don’t matter. They have this perceived notion that he’s a savior of sorts. He’s a disaster.

Good find but too late ...

PS. The hawks invade the frozen tundra next week. Be very afraid.

14-day waiting period??? That is funny. What do they need to do, background checks to make sure they are the parents.

[pissant]

Speaking of that, are we going for another wager??

Originally enacted in 1985 under then-Governor Bill Clinton, Arkansas’ home school law recognized the right of parents to teach their children at home, but imposed considerable restrictions, especially for special education. In 1997, due largely to the efforts of Governor Mike Huckabee, Arkansas revised the law creating a much more favorable environment for home educators. The 1997 law required parents to provide written notice to the local superintendent of their intent to provide a home school at the beginning of each school year or at the time during the school year that the parent withdrew the child from public school. Now, just two years later, home school freedom in Arkansas has taken a step backwards and parents find themselves burdened by some of the same restrictions as before.

I understand you don't like Huckabee. BUT trying to cherry pick sentences from articles from 1999 can make you look silly. (I am still torn between Huckabee and Thompson, no other GOP candidate is Conservative Enough on the three issues that matter most to ME, Marriage, Abortion, and the 2nd Amendment.)

“Mike is the kind of candidate we have hoped for,” said Michael Farris, an evangelical Christian and chairman of the Home School Legal Defense Association, a group that defends parents’ rights to educate their children at home. “He’s a man who shares a world view with evangelical Christians.”

[Tired of Taxes]

I don’t understand why HSLDA (Home School Legal Defense) endorsed him.

[pissant]

IF marriage, abortion and the 2A are your issues, you should be campaigning for Hunter, not eithe of those two clowns.

Oooh, I'm shaking in my boots. What are the Seahawks going to do, throw coffee at us? Just be sure Hasselbeck doesn't eat his words like last time :-)

[pissant]

Yeah. I can see you sitting in front of your TV in your tighty whities wearing a cheesehead and slurping a Pabst talkin smack.

[Dan Lacey]

There’s no candidate more pro-Christian than a solid economic conservative. The fact that Governor Huckabee believes in Christ is meaningless. Carter was a Baptist preacher as well.

I am one of those that the MSM snidely refers to as a "values voter" or "fundie" or "religious right". It all comes down to Opposing the Homosexual Agenda, Defending the Unborn, Protecting the 2nd Amendment, and understanding that the ACLU/PAW/AUSCS version of the 1st Amendment is wrong.

Thus, I rank the Candidates that we have as:

1. Thompson/Huckabee

2. Duncan Hunter

3. McCain

4. Romney

5. Giuliani/Paul(AKA Nuts.)

I understand that we don't have a perfect candidate in this field. I would have much preferred to have a Rick Santorum in the mix, but idiots rejected him for an empty suit.

[Dan Lacey]

Correction - Carter was a Baptist Sunday School teacher.

Pissant, you are going to have to come to the realization that Congressman Hunter and his campaign are finished. He has no support, is running out of what little money he has and he has been eliminated from the debates.

He was my first choice too when he announced but I know now he is wasting his time. It is just not working.
