Homeschoolers are well aware of the CONS and DISADVANTAGES of homeschooling, and yet they support it; thus they are more guilty than most others.
Is this about discussing HOMESCHOOL or the bad aspects of public schooling????
Why are you so FEARFUL of public schools????
Good point. Certainly, if homeschooling was hurting a child more than it was helping then the parents would be more guilty than others. The problem is that public school is hurting more than it is helping. Not only are the children poorly served by the low-grade academics, but they are taught that they are animals and that their parents are not to be trusted.
I'm sure you don't agree with that, so let's determine if homeschooling is hurting kids or helping them. We can start with what you think is the worst problem and after that one is discussed we can go on to the next one.
Determining that Public schools were hurting kids more than helping them is not only through the mountain of anecdotal evidence, but the published policies of the teacher's unions and the response to crises like school shootings. If kids would stay home and do housework all day and no school work they would be better off.
And, I'm fearful of public schools because they make the adults that need fixing after having been broken in the public schools. I also don't like laws that force me to send my kids to these child-breakers. I don't like paying for public school either, but if the government would just not require that I let them raise my kids I would settle for that.

The quote was "It is again a matter of right wing fundamentalist Christians discriminating against the poor."
If a right wing fundamentalist church has a banker (usurer) in their midst they are more likely to make him / her an elder than tackle what the bible says about usury.
By their fruit you will know them. How are the poor helped by right-wing politics?
How many times did Jesus mention the poor?
How difficult is it for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven? What did Jesus say?
What does the bible say about usury? How many sermons on usury have you heard at your church?
It's time that Christians Christened Christendom.
This is the second time you don't seem to be able to keep on topic. I'm beginning to think you have a lack of conversation skills. You should give conversation a try and give your debating tactics a rest.
To make it more clear, even though I shouldn't have to, let me restate your statement in context: "It is again a matter of right wing fundamentalist Christians discriminating against the poor [to discourage public school and encourage homeschooling]." To which I replied "That statement is incorrect." If you want to talk about that other church topic we can do that too, but let's talk about one thing at a time, ok? You need to have a statement that actually supports your claim that homeschooling discriminates against the poor. I can support my statement. The poor do not need to spend much money on education, they just need to have decent character and most of the problems they perceive in homeschooling would go away. I'm sure you've heard the saying, "They don't steal because they are poor, they are poor because they steal."
