prisonchaplain Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 In another post I questioned the status of religious liberty, arguing that the efforts of LGBT activists to go after bakers, florists and photographers will lead to attacks on our colleges. Turns out, secular fundamentalists want to ban homeschools and really cement the idea that the state his priority over the family in setting values. https://www.christianpost.com/news/harvard-prof-calls-for-ban-on-homeschooling-responses-emerge.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until I get a sense that this stupidity is getting traction, I'm not going to worry too much about this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carborendum Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 They make no bones about it. Apparently, Harvard is not interested in Reading, Writing, Arithemetic, and Righteousness. They just want to unleash the libertine in all children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeuroTypical Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 We started homeschooling in 2005, and this stuff was news then too. Not this specific article, but there has always been an article like this, a group of people saying this stuff. Germany is basically a lost cause, as your children do indeed belong to the state. Our 50 states all legislate homeschooling differently, from the Germany-esque ones, to ones like Utah where there are no required days of instruction nor required subjects.

Carborendum Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 One more thing that most people (both in and out of homeschooling) may not be aware of is that only about half of homeschoolers choose to do so, in order to provide a religious background for the educational experience.

We may be a few steps away, but if accreditation gets tied to public policy (i.e. LGBT approval, etc.), and then they campaign against unaccredited homeschooling . . .
