He had the problem BEFORE homeschooling, therefore it was not homeschooling that caused his problem.

“Where are the data? Are they claiming that home-schooled children are more violent, or more prone to crime than public-school kids? Are they claiming that their new rules would prevent schizophrenia?”


That’s a good point. If there were data showing that home-schooled kids were by proportion or in raw numbers more likely to violent psychopaths than those in public schools, they would be flogging this to no end.

This is about union power, indoctrination and unilaterally disarming law-abiding citizens. Period.

If everyone homeschooled,
a Sandy Hook would have been impossible.

All the kids would have been at home.

mandate home schooling for all.

I think our government should consider exporting public education. It would be cheaper and our kids would learn more.

The Democratic Party has become the party of idiots, and corrupt fools.

They are neither except the corrupt part. Otherwise they are simply Totalitarians who believe they will rule in the new Total State or at least have will have comfortable positions in the Nomenklatura.

Pulled my grandaughter out at 15 because of the lack of learning, gangs, dumbed down tests etc. She got so bored with the school drudge she stopped caring about learning entirely.

Home schooled her at 15, she passed her state GED tests and received her HS diploma at 16, 3 days after her 17th birthday taking Math, English and Nursing pre-requisites at the 4 yr local college as a full time college student.

She would have ended up a dropout at 16 and flipped burgers forever if nothing would have been done. Now she is on the road to becing an RN by the time she’s 20.

"Is this satire?"

Of course - everything seems satire in Konnecticut.

The idiocy of the whole thing is that this one particular homicidal lunatic was actually a product of the PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM for at least 10 years, but presumably more. He was pulled at the age of 15 or 16 when he was halfway through their high school system, to be homeschooled because the public system was failing him. I defy them to name one child who was homeschooled his entire life who has gone on a shooting rampage and killed a pile of people. Any direction they can point a finger that doesn’t incur any blame on their own extremely flawed system. (shaking head in incredulity)

Your granddaughter’s story is not a happy one for the Left. If she had ended up a 16-year-old dropout [and impregnated by a series of unemployed fathers], she would have been ignorant, impoverished and govt-dependent — an ideal citizen for the Party of Jim Crow.

Gun control, child control, we are just tools of the state.

The irony is that Adam Lanza wasn't even homeschooled. See this timeline.

In school he was diagnosed with psychological issues again and again through 10th grade. So, the school system had him through 10th grade.

In Spring 2008, he stopped going to his high school classes, but he continued with a Tech Club and other events at the school. Also that semester (Spring 2008), he turned 16 (the legal dropout age), earned his GED, and applied to a university. He was accepted and started university courses in Summer 2008.

That's not even homeschooling. That's dropping out to start college at age 16.

But, of course, that simple logic won't stop the public school educators from claiming that he was homeschooled.

In the Summer of 2012, I went to a Walmart in Putnam, CT. They were having a sale on Remington 12 gauge shotgun ammo. Many varieties. Good prices too. Boxes and boxes sitting on shelves with no lock up at all. Grab what you need. I bought lots of it. I had no problem. I'm from MA and showed them my MA LTC.
"You don't need that." the sales clerk said. Easy and cheap.

Fast forward to 1 month ago. Same Walmart. Everything is locked up and the shelves are sparsely populated. I asked the clerk for a box of 30-30 and two boxes of Remington shotgun ammo.

I went to pay for it and presented my MA LTC.
"Oh...I'm sorry...we don't take that. You're from MA? Can't sell this to out of state residents."

And I though MA was effed up. The folks in CT have gone right round the bend with this Sandy Hook stuff.

For those of you that homeschool... your home’s front door just became a TSA checkpoint.

I believe the toxicology tests showed he wasn’t on any drugs.
