Say Again?
In yet another hit piece targeting Christian homeschooling, Bob Allen of Ethics Daily writes the following regarding Robert "Fourth" Reich's criticism of homeschooling studies:
Stanford Professor Robert Reich said he is skeptical of studies showing homeschooling to be superior, because most are based on research done by homeschool advocacy groups. He also argued the state has an interest in knowing its children grow up to be well-rounded citizens.You wanna run that by me one more time, Mr. Allen? The state's children? Where then, did I ever get the idea my children belonged to me? Here's a direct quote from Robert "Fourth" Reich:
"If parents can control every aspect of the kids' education, shield them from exposure to things that the parents deem sinful or objectionable, screen in only things which accord with their convictions, and not allow them exposure to the world of democracy, well the children grow up then basically in the own image of their parents, servile to their own parents' beliefs."As I've mentioned earlier, the rhetoric from the Left is heating up. They plan on using the power of the state to suppress Christianity. They plan on acting in the very manner of which they accuse their opponents. They worry about a religious tyranny that will clamp down on personal liberties. Their solution? Preemptive strikes against homeschooling families.
