Kentuckians are the lucky ‘uns imo.

I was homeschooled in the totalitarian state of PA.

I recommend membership in HSLDA, though my parents never needed it. They had other ways of getting pests to back off. And there were some pests.

The worst home school is still better than the Psychological Brainwashing Centres the govt runs.

They are homeschooling because they see society devolving into bizarre world. These are the people protecting their children from the nuts whose educational goals are prioritizing men in women’s bathrooms and revisionist history.

These are the kids that the libs are being kept from getting their dirty hands on, that will come out childhood somewhat modest minded, with faith, secure in whom they are, a idea that America can be and is a great country with great ideals, and correct knowledge of what it used to be without it being Soviet-erased out of the books. Makes the left crazy. They can’t stand it.

The left hates homeschooling because they can’t tell you what bathrooms to have.

They tried this in NC, although here they actually expected homechooling parents to bring their children to the police departments for the meetings. That idea got shot down in a hurry.

“ensure that all children in Clinton County have access to the best education possible.”
Absurd. The best education possible, for any given child, would be expensive. First, because it would require tutoring by an expert - in fact, by the finest expert tutor. Not the finest expert tutor in Clinton County, or even in Kentucky. The finest tutor in the world.

So we see that “the best education possible” for an individual cannot be delivered to “all the children in Clinton County.” One thing we know is that parental involvement and support is sine qua non for a good education. Another thing we know is that homeschooling is the ultimate in parental involvement in education. Yet another thing we know is that even if the parent is not herself (or himself) an expert at teaching academics to children in general, s/he is ineluctably the first and primary teacher of the child.

“Ensure that all children in Clinton County have access to the best education possible” is a chimera. To propose it as policy is to make “better” the enemy of good enough. Let the homeschoolers audit the government schools by the standard of “ensure that all children in Clinton County” government schools "have access to the best education possible” and see how Clinton County likes that.

Will they be auditing poblik skuls? will teacher unions be audited? Will they audit the government and themselves?

"local school officials intend to conduct random audits of area homeschool families this summer because they want to “ensure that all children in our county are getting a rigorous and effective education."

How in the heck would THEY know?

We need the Marxist system of mass indoctrination into stupidity ENDED....and a STAKE driven right through the black, putrid heart.....of their Satanic system to deliberately destroy and corrupt the minds of our children with Common Core/NCLB/Goals 2000 (all psychological warfare on the minds of children).

Evil satanic people are interfering with God-Given Natural Rights of PARENTS-—none of the States da*n business—WHO MADE THEM OUR MASTERS/OVERSEERS. It is UNCONSTITUTIONAL—ALL OF IT!!!!!!!
