AG Eric Holder's new campaign: to ban homeschooling

[68Charger]

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 mix it up- last week was Immigration reform... it's always something to distract, the American public has a short attention span. (and this is coming from someone who scored way high on an adult ADD test)

My biggest beef with homeschoolers is their self-righteous attitude. A lot of them I know seem to go out of their way to make such a big deal about how they homeschool and how much better it is.

Great if it works for you. Great if public school works for you. Great if private school works for you. I don't really care, but like anything else, don't shove your beliefs down my throat.

Also, Eric Holder can fuck right off. Not that exercising rights not explicitly granted the Federal government by the Constitution ever bothered him at all.

That's nice that it's in education law but how are they actually covering the topics? 10th graders today can't tell me what a 6th grader could 30 years ago in terms of how legislation becomes law (thank you Schoolhouse Rock). Current public school students are getting more time spent on "diversity", "multiculturalism", and other topics than on basic civics, the roots of our system of government, English common law vs. the Napoleonic Code, etc. Look at how much time they spend (or don't) in the current curriculum on George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, the Second Continental Congress, the essential grievances that drove the American Revolution, the Louisiana Purchase and America's expansion into the West, etc. When they DO study the Westward Expansion, do they get anything more than "Manifest Destiny was evil"?
