Fox News reports this time, exposing a few details of what I consider to be an up and coming battle at this point. Teachers Unions and state education are visibly threatened by the homeschooling movement. Some claim we are threatening "the system" (as cited in this article.)

I hope we are. I hope the societal system that has allowed the public education system to deteriorate into an indoctrination machine that produces gullible robots is shaking in it's boots. Please don't take me wrong. We all know that there are a good many success stories coming out of public schools. We all know that there are a few decent public schools scattered across the country, but overall I'd say it is easily agreed upon that the system has some huge flaws too. No matter how you choose to educate your little ones, it involves careful sacrifice and attention.

 I don't condemn  those families who choose to make a go of the public school system and I fully recognize that in many of those cases parents THINK they don't have a choice. In most cases we do have a choice, and it usually involves sacrifice, but again, I won't readily condemn those who go for public ed. What I do want is the free right to choose how my children are educated without being threatened by the government. I also want my tax dollars back in my own pocket to spend as I see fit for the education of my children. Socialism failed a long time ago, and I haven't forgotten it. If the EU wants to sink back into the pitfalls of history, I say goodbye, (see former articles on the current issues in Germany.) Let'em go, but not without a fight. Let's all remember the lessons of the last century and the damage socialism has done in that time.

Educate at home if you can, and continue to break the mold of nanny government.
