....it quickly became clear that reporter Jon Schuppe not only saw the irony, but understood it.

Well, maybe. I saw the article, and I don't know if Schuppe understood it or just stumbled onto an obvious irony--something MOST journalists don't really catch.

Having been intimately involved in the homeschooling community in my area, our contacts are mainly Christians--but not necessarily "conservative" in a political sense.

The heartening truth is this: in South Florida (ESPECIALLY since the edict from B. Hussein Obama that bathrooms have to be open to both sexes) we have seen a rapid increase in inquiries about home schooling from parents all along the socioeconomic and racial lines.

A good percentage of our homeschoolers are black. They don't want their kids growing up like thugs.

A loving community is what homeschoolers are....we have had some very, very liberal Jewish folk amongst us, too...they are welcome.

Homeschooling will get a kid to learn at their OWN pace. And with online courses and computer based teaching, it is so much easier than people think.

There is even a physical education program called "Saints" here in Florida for homeschoolers.

Public schools, with the teachers unions and the violence and the liberal politics and all the other rot are no longer worth the time.

There has been an explosion of online teaching modules and videos in the past 6 years, or so. Our kids are long out of high school, but our 27 yr. old son loves the Khan Academy videos, and finds them extremely well done. But then he also likes "Drunk History", which if you don't mind the slurring and bleeping when folks curse, has some very interesting historical info, done in an engaging manner!
