AG Eric Holder's new campaign: to ban homeschooling

See my earlier post about the Hitler Youth. From preschool through university they were indoctrinated for a generation. That has been going on in a limited way here since the 70's. This is just an effort to make it more aggressive.

Yes,pretty darn scary.It's like they took that as a model to go by.
Just waiting for them to mandate bamma uniforms....
Although some schools in certain states allready have dresscodes/uniforms implemented..
Again,scary..

The teacher's union is already in O's pocket. When he was running in 08 there were teachers having elementary school children sing songs about the exalted one. Look it up, very scary when viewed against the things that the Hitler Youth was doing.

Oh man, it will be so awesome when they start raiding home schools with guns pointed at the scum who dare educate their own scummy children. Even better when a Farmer's Market is raided with guns drawn.

You're under arrest for the unauthorized teaching of children, come out with your hands up!




Fortunately for this youth, he was rescued in time to full-fill his true destiny to attend a Young Communist Union congress as the government intended.

Every school district in every state sets it's own standards based on state law for what students must be taught regardless of whether that education is provided by public schools, parochial schools, or homeschools. What someone knows in another state is not applicable to what is legal in another state.

http://www.hslda.org/ is a good organization and they provided us with years of good advice and guidance as we homeschooled our two sons, who both have AA degrees from accredited community colleges.

As with so many other things, punishing the majority for the faults of a few is so very typical of the nanny state mentality which promises to protect us in exchange for our liberty.

The best government is less government.

Be safe.

I think this is a smoke screen. Talk about school and kids and then slide the gun bans in while people ar concerned over schools and their kids. Also teach at home. I dont care. Just teach your kids no matter what shool they go too or dont go too.

Actually I'd argue that the gun stuff is a smoke screen to hide what they're doing to the economy. I think the home school stuff is an evil scheme they didn't plan on coming to light just yet.

They knew the gun stuff would light up fires under conservatives. The whole point in bringing it up now is not only exploiting current tragedies but to keep our attention focused elsewhere.

It isn't generally reported in the media. I have a few friends working as investigators for Child Protective Services in another state, and a few friends who are public schoolteachers who are familiar with cases involving abused kids being pulled out of school by abusive parents for "home schooling", and am familiar with a few isolated "religious communities" who don't want any contact with the rest of society and try to maintain total control over their community like a cult . . . and I'm not talking about the Amish or Hassidic communities either, but nutjobs who make the Scientologists and Branch Davidians almost look sane.

To paraphrase Ted Nugent, this isn't a home-schooling problem, this is a MANIAC problem... you can find a small minority in just about any group that will exploit whatever they can to do EVIL things. This should in no way be used to justify taking away the rights of citizens... My wife goes to extreme efforts to ensure our children are taught above and beyond what they would get in public schools- our oldest has been in and out of Public schools, so we're not just blindly saying they're CRAP where we live, they are worse.

Our youngest isn't even required to be in school at all until he's 7yo under our county- and he's already beyond 1st grade level in all subjects...at 6yo. She started him with an on-line Kindergarten at 5 (since it was based out of another county that allowed him to be enrolled with his August birthday at 5yo) because we used a "distance learning" public school, he's on record as starting Kindergarten in 2011... This wasn't done because we are dictatorial parents, he was BORED, and was asking if he could do what his older sisters were doing (home school)

So don't even hint that it MIGHT be ok to take away options that we currently have, based on the actions of a few bad individuals. Lumping responsible adults who are seeking alternatives to poor public school systems with what you are describing is insulting...
