October 12, 2018 (CatholicCulture.org) – From Patrick Reilly of the Cardinal Newman Society, via the National Catholic Register, comes this ominous warning:
At the Youth Synod in Rome this week, one of the bishops' discussion groups made some disappointing and ignorant comments about Catholic homeschoolers. In one of the English-language discussion groups at the Synod, a summary of the conversation included these disturbing notes:
Home based schools – a model coming from America.
USA has many home schoolers – bishops in USA are not united, as homeschooling can have an ideological basis – kids may have special needs
are parents qualified to homeschool them? Let's answer that last question first. Yes, parents are qualified to teach their own children. In better times, Catholics could rely on their bishops to support the role of parents as "primary educators."
Why is it, then, that the "bishops in USA are not united" in support of home schoolers? The note is chilling in its answer to that obvious question; the bishops of English-language Circle C referred to "an ideological basis." As Patrick Reilly points out, liberal opponents of home schooling regularly use that term to disparage the home-schooling movement. The "ideological" label, Reilly remarks, is "what faithful Catholic home schoolers endure frequently from fellow Catholics, priests and even bishops – the charge that they are too 'conservative' and too 'moralistic.'"

The years I was a carny I met a lot of carny kids who were officially home-schooled. Their actual schooling consisted of working and learning their business. They all seem to be literate and can add and subtract, at least enough to work the fairs. They all grow up with jobs assured, even if they don’t know any more history or science than the public school kids.
One of my colleagues has homeschooled all his kids. One received a full scholarship for four years from the University of Oklahoma. The other received a 3/4 scholarship from one of the IVIES.
All to government we must surrender
It alone has right to rule
For our own good it must dictate
Our every thought and every deed
It should be master over all
It should be master over all
It owns us anyway, and has first right
To our children and ourselves
(Yes, by all means let us trust only the government and those it approves of with education... it’s the Progressive thing to do)
Homeschooling inherently preselects out the lazy unconcerned parent.
Everybody wants to coerce your young into their own image.
If that was me, “our church” would’ve become “our former church”.
Very convenient coming from a church that runs a chain of schools.
And the better question is “who the hell are you, covering up rampant pedophilia, to sit in judgement of a parent?”
Men in dresses, who don’t marry or breed, and who bugger little boys...dare lecture American home schoolers. Laughable on it;s face.
NUMB NUTTED FAGGOT !
To whom do you refer?
The course material or software etc.... is set up so parents can facilitate. Which is what teachers have been doing for decades. Facilitating.

Of course, but I thought it would be best if you eliminated any other possibility!
Things are turning around but we have a fomidable enemy that restricts THIS kind of communication and clouds it when it DOES get out.
Never discuss sex, politics and religion.
Have you seen todays' newspaper ?
Sex, politics and religion.
Thank God and JimRob for FreeRepublic !
Which is what I did.
I thought it was obvious.

I often use <tt> rather than italics when quoting from the article rather than the reply.But that’s just me.
That’s too bad. Our church was quite supportive. Helps that our pastor and his wife were homeschoolers. :-)
I suspect that those elders complaining the most about “ideological” bias in homeschooling parents would be perfectly happy with liberal indoctrination at a group facility.
Whoa! Just when you think you’ve heard everything...
Priests, Bishops, Cardinals...right up to the Pope, should be leading the charge to home school.
This is an outrage.
I wouldn’t say ‘always’; I doubt that St. Ignatius of Loyola and St. Francis Xavier would identify with the Commies.
However, in the modern day, I would wholeheartedly agree with you on their leftist sympathies.
