However some people have such hatred for homeschooling and Christianity that their OPINIONS are over heated and they share those OPINIONS as if they are facts!
Recently I read an article that can pretty much be summed up in the opening statements:
Until the 1980s homeschooling was a benign activity that effected very few children. After homeschooling became dominated by right wing Christian theocrats, millions of vulnerable children (estimates are suspect because of poor reporting requirements) became virtual prisoners in their own homes, pawns in a scheme to overthrow the United States Government and replace it with a theocracy. (source)
See what I mean about hatred for homeschooling and Christianity? I shared the article with some of the ladies at THL: The Homeschool Lounge and asked them if they wanted to go out for a pizza when we are done overthrowing the USA government. LOL
So I really just wanted to post this here and ask you my dear readers: Do you also want to join us for a pizza when we are done overthrown' the government?? LOL We've decided that we are going to meet in Chicago because Chicago is the land of pizza! (Chicago Style Pizzas IN Chicago are the best).
Seriously anyone that thinks that homeschoolers homeschool to overthrow a government has some issues. It's really not worth debating with him because honestly when there is so much hatred you can't reason with them.
So what do you want on your pizza?
PS: going out for pizza is a bit of scarcism if you haven't caught on yet!
Don't joke around about pizza. That's serious stuff! If you were closer to NJ I'd join you for pizza. My public school kids are out there to subvert the system out in the open. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you're in Karen! :) Does NJ have good pizza? The location of this pizza party is subjective and can change at any time. It's just we want good pizza! :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, your comment, Karen, reminded me of the news article I read this morning about an 8 year old being taken out of (public) school and not allowed to come back until AFTER he had an mental heath evaluation. All because he drew a picture of a crucifix. The teacher asked the class to draw a images of Christmas and that's what he drew.

Hmm...does my child need a psych evaluation because of her unprompted crucifixion drawings? The drawing described in the Fox News article seems remarkably similar to the one my daughter drew in July. Here's a link to her drawing. http://kareninmommyland.blogspot.com/2009/07/religious-art-by-madeline.html
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your daughter's art work with us. I think it's NUT that the child was subject to such a thing. I sincerely hope that you Karen would never have to be be faced with such craziness.
ReplyDeleteTake Care,
Nikki
I'm with Karen... no joking about pizza! However, I would have to fly out your way, cuz we really don't have that good of pizza out here in Cali. lol
ReplyDeleteAll joking aside, I see that kind of attitude and children being threatened like that all of the time here. And BTW... Moms should run the govn't... at least we would get things done!
I'm glad you are in too Tammy! It's going to be a blast! :)
ReplyDeleteI clicked over from the Lounge and am SO WITH YA! (((((HUGS))))) sandi~yeah, Chicago pizza is pretty phat! ~smile~
ReplyDeletewelcome Sandi!!!!! This is going to be one rockin' pizza party! Is anyone else coming? (I hope so)
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm in. I'll have a supreme pizza, as in we will be the supreme rulers. . .not only of the country. . .but of the WORLD! (Said with a sadistic laugh. . .HA HA HA!)
ReplyDeletePeople are just so crazy sometimes. I do hope though that we are raising some leaders for our future. We need leaders with values and morals, somethiing we seem to be losing in current politics.
