Do any of you blog on the homeschool blogger? Some homeschoolers are
boycotting them because they have banner ads for the Pearls, who
advocate "training" children by beating them with plumbing supplies
because they're cheap and won't leave bruises. Here's a mothering.com
discussion about it:

A bit about the owner of homeschoolblogger defending the Pearls:

In an article published today about a child abuse case in NC, Gina
Suarez, publisher of Homeschoolblogger.com, is quoted defending the
use of plumbing supply lines to beat your child. "[The Pearls] are
talking about something that would fit in a purse," Suarez said. "The
only way you can kill a child with that is by shoving it down his
throat."

Here's an article where the Pearls (the dad on this page) tell women
to stay with husbands even if they beat them, beat the kids, or molest
the kids. If he won't stop molesting the kids you can have him
arrested and testify against him but you should be waiting "with open
arms" for him when he gets out. UGH.

I am so disgusted! I can't believe this! And I can't believe anyone would
support people like that. Geez... now I've got to transfer my blog
elsewhere.
