I am appalled that Homeschool Blogger choose to censor Eireann's post School's Out for Summer from her blog School of Thought. The post was on the topic of homeschooling and there was nothing objectionable in the post. Homeschool Blogger's objection The School of Thought blog didn't pass muster, as Eireann is an atheist, and Homeschool Blogger has to 'protect' their readers from unsuitable blogs.
Frankly I am upset that Henry let them get away with it. The Christian Fundies have been taking over the CoH for awhile now, even so I published every post submitted to me; even those submitted by Christian Fundies who had post that made me want to gag. Maybe it is time to start a secular CoH, if the Christian Fundies are free to censor unobjectionable post just because they don't like the religious/non-religious beliefs of the poster. Ironically enough the Carnival was entitled Southern Hospitality. They failed miserably at displaying any. If I had known Eireann's post had been deleted I wouldn't have linked to the Carnival that week.
I wonder if my post A Side Dish of Homeschooling, which I submitted to this weeks CoH will make it in there.
