As I would demand with a story in the MSM, it would be nice to have some real names and more details attached. If these five people have truly been denied employment solely because of being homeschooled, I’d think they’d be happy to be quoted.

LifeSiteNews is a far cry from being MSM.

It's interesting to see reactions when something is posted from a non MSM site. If it happens to be something that people WANT to believe, then the information has to be true, because, well, I think that too! But if it flies in the face of one's own personal beliefs, then the hue and cry is for "proof! proof! proof!"

I never forget that the purpose of reporting stories is to make money by increasing readership. Papers and websites report what their readers want to hear and believe, and if it happens to be the proof, well, isn't that just dandy!

This article is long on emotion and short on facts. How odd that many freepers take it at face value.

Here is a link from an MSM source with more information plus quotes from two men with homeschool diplomas, one of them a police officer:
