Looks like a lot of us agree here. I just wish there were more of us that did, especially in the homeschool arena. I enrolled my son back in public school this year because I am lazy and it just felt like too much trying to find the right affordable non brainwashing curriculum. Of course sending him to public school is just as disheartening as even though there is SUPPOSED to be a separation of church and state there is a lot of that "churchy" ..."one of us" influence there too. He actually gets bullied pretty frequently by his "christian" friends while the predominantly "christian" teachers and admin turn a blind eye, because well..actually I don't know why. I guess because they can. Because this is Texas so they are the majority? Maybe it is because they think if you're going to be a heathen you should learn to accept that you are simply never going to be God's favorite? Who knows.But I appreciate you're take on it and for being brave enough to tell it like it is. AND for doing it so entertainingly.

We live in an area where we have a lot more secular homeschoolers, but it's still hard to find an organized homeschool group that isn't Christian based. I guess the Christians are more motivated than us lazy secular homeschoolers. I WAS tempted to join a group and pretend to be Christian until I realized they taught Creationism. <br /><br />Sigh.tracey.becker1@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606831315390042198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777572921251253526.post-57507323311254475282012-03-19T08:47:58.061-07:002012-03-19T08:47:58.061-07:00Amen, sister.

Even though we've strayed from homeschooling circles due to Davan's overwhelming circus obsession, it's still a reflection of the area as a whole - plenty of accepting folks around from both sides of the coin.Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15536541033055051614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777572921251253526.post-15086859005165161382012-03-18T11:08:14.981-07:002012-03-18T11:08:14.981-07:00I think you summed up beautifully what we were tal...I think you summed up beautifully what we were talking about on Friday.
