"The impression I got is that they are homeschooling for reasons other than academics. "

According to CBS they must be child abusers.

I think poor Dan Rather is getting blasted by everyone about his program on homeschoolers/child abusers, especially when people found out that the producer of the show told a North Carolina homeschooling group that they wouldn't be "happy with the report" and that the reason for the show was to increase governmental control over homeschoolers. That's pretty one-sided reporting as far as I'm concerned. I e-mailed CBS saying that.

The reporting staff and Rather just showed their ignorance of homeschooling and the fact that they have an agenda (regulating homeschooling). I wouldn't doubt it if the NEA put them up to it.
