Yet More Navel Gazing

Notice I didn't say homeschoolerS?


Much has been made about the media deciding, perhaps with help from the Evil Empire (HSLDA), that all homeschoolers are for the Southern Baptist minister. I hate even typing his name.

The thinking is that homeschoolers = right wing religious nutjob. Given that 20-30% of homeschoolers are now considered “non-religious” I find that to be an incredible act of ignorance on the part of the media.

Anyway, I’m fully behind the candidacy of Barak Obama. It is my belief, that of the current democratic candidates, he is the only one that will pursue a progressive agenda AND can get elected.

His plans for health care, education (funding No Child Left Behind) and Iraq (get the troops out in less than two years) are spelled out on his website www.barakobama.com While I may be a homeschoolers who is partly homeschooling because I think NCLB is a load of poor pedagogy, it WAS an unfunded program and well funded universal education is a boon for our entire country.
