Some of this is probably old news but here's a start:
"A couple in Brussels is being threatened with criminal neglect for educating their children at home..."
Read this short article to see why this has serious potential implications here in America:

This next one is very interesting. It cuts right to the heart of the current issues involving homeschooling, but watch closely how this writer spins an anti-homeschooling bias into the story. Even so, it is insightful of some of the scary realities if you read a little between the lines. Notice as well how this organization wears the first amendment on it's sleeve. Are they really interested in your rights?Judge for yourself:

And this link demonstrates a little about how teachers unions get upset when an organization tries to use our hard earned tax payer dollars to support the homeschool movement in Minnesota. There are some interesting discussion forum comments following the article that I didn't have time to read fully and screen for offensive material but it looked safe when I browsed it. Read with caution, non-the-less:

I hope to receive feedback on what I am trying to accomplish here. I don't care to waste anybodies time, and virtually all of this material can be ferreted out on the Internet by anyone who cares to, so please don't hesitate to let me know if I'm being helpful at all, or plain wasting mine and everybody else's time. Constructive and honest feedback is more helpful than candy coated fluff.
God Bless,
