The problem's more sinister...we're now witnessing the long-term effects of the far left Hollywood-Disney-NEA "education" of the children. Ferngully, Free Willy, most made for TV movies about the environment, cartoons, comic books share the same themes...evil humans/developers/corporations vs. harmless, innocent nature. About that "McCarthy-ism"...?
I truly admire homeschoolers and pray the movement evolves and grows everyday.
