And here we go again. Homeschooling must be a form of indoctrination, and its primary purpose must be to make our children in our own images. Homeschooling parents work diligently to protect their children from the world's evil influences, be they naughty words on TV or insufficiently pious biology textbooks. AiG states that the top three reasons that parents homeschool "include the parents’ desire to instill a biblical worldview in their children, the biblical responsibility that parents have to teach their children, and the poor moral (and learning) environment in many public schools."
This perception of homeschooling is perpetrated by both right-wing organizations such as HSLDA (the Homeschool Legal Defense Association... a creepy bunch of bastards they are) and by (oh, how it pains!) my fellow loony liberals who have bought into the idea that public education is always the best thing for every child and that teaching your own kids is tantamount to child abuse. Absent from any media discussion of homeschooling are the families who homeschool to allow their children to take joy in (and responsibility for) learning, to escape the bureaucracy and standardization of public schools, to simply spend their days together as families have done for millennia.
The 'loony liberals' who refuse to see the benefits of homeschooling worry me the most. They want to take our right to independently homeschool away.
