Ok. I read through some of the passages for the books. I am completely grossed out now. We're talking about pedophilia and all sorts of other nasty, vulgar deviancy.

Good GRIEF. Get rid of Jennings ASAP!!!

my husband was home-schooled under similar conditions in the south. like, nervous to go outside kind of conditions.

although i haven't chosen that option (yet) for my kids, i fight for our right to homeschool. cuz germany SUCKS with out it (it is against the law here, did you know that? yet the americans who live here are allowed to do it and all the germans look at them with envy.)

FREEEEDOM!!!!!! this is an issue close to my heart. carry on, patti.

Great read Patti! I thought we had perv laws for creeps like Jennings. You know, a thousands yards from a school and such. Barry is playing with fire with this one, you don’t mess with the kids!

I would like to introduce that pervert to some good old fashion TEXAS fisting. Right up side his liberal melon head. Time for an uprising, I'm ready, just let me know when.

You're a brave woman, Patti. Oh never mind those outsiders--the thought of spending all day and night with my kiddos would have sent me to the loony bin. LOL

All kidding aside, we were lucky that our kids got their public school education in a district that had such high academic success that the state stayed out of it. A very conservative town, with very aware parents who were actively involved in their kids' education. And even at that, my wife and I held a daily review with the kids about what they were being taught. We had to undo the damage the schools were doing with "new math" and "creative spelling/whole meaning" nonsense. But at least they didn't get the indoctrination that so many others got nationwide.

My younger daughter has not been so fortunate, and is now about one step away from quitting her job and home-schooling her younger ones because of the dreadful school district they are currently stuck in.

I think you already know my thoughts on the Safe Schools Czar. Anybody out there have some tar and feathers handy?

Interesting article Patti. I think that as long as the schools for further and further down this road that the Jenningses of the world are pushing, people will continue to flee the public system.

I remember when they introduced Heather Has Two Mommies and everyone was upset -- we were told that was far as they wanted to take it. Apparently, they lied. . . just like we knew they were doing.

My boy is 4. I have thought about homeschooling ever since I found out I was pregnant. As time goes by, I am more and more convinced it would be the only safe option. I included (stole) some of your sentiments in an angry (but articulate) letter to all my reps and the President. What do you think would happen if all concerned parents educated their kids at home?
