1. Your bullshit radar is functioning well.
2. Substitute "property" for "parental" and see how ideas play.

Might be useful to play "follow the money" and first trail to follow might
be path utilized by followers of "firstest and bestest solution is amend the
constitution".

Here's what I sent to unschoolingbasics in case anyone here is seeing
worth in the site:

Three clicks and I'm looking at Michael Farris.

http://www.parentalrights.org/about/board-of-directors

I had a sneaking suspicion that site would lead to a fundamentalist
Christian connection. Michael Farris and company are big against the
UN Convention on the Rights of Children.

Here's some links I sent to someone last time Michael Farris's name
came up:

Unfortunately some people are so fearful and feel so powerless
they're afraid not to believe.

HSLDA is good at scaring people into giving them money.
