So Subway has this essay contest which is open to children in pre K-grade 6 ... unless they are homeschooled children. "No home schools will be accepted" is the exact language used on their contest page.
The contest winner receives, among other things, $5000 for athletic equipment for his school. Okay, I get it, the $5000 is not intended for a single family to win. But what a short-sighted decision! Wouldn't it have been simpler to say that the winner could designate the institution of her choice to receive the $5000? Eligible institutions could include not only schools but community centers and playgrounds, recreational sport leagues, and even churches.
I bet they get a huge backlash from the homeschool community. I admit, they've already heard from me.
