Julie, you get my vote.
Recently there have been tallies made about how many people have been killed
by their own governments. I'll try to find the numbers. (Hope this isn't OT,
but no one has objected to this thread yet) The numbers are as astronomical
as the ones for religions killing people, and for racial murdering, or
simple plunder and other reasons. The government killings include, of
course, Gallileo, Socretes, and Jesus. Then there are the 24 Salem
"witches"...

It takes government to make a war.

Does anybody know the penalties for homeschooling a child in the countries
in Europe in which it is prohibited?

In Massachusetts, there is a homeschooling family whose children are under
the jurisdiction of the state dept of something, not for abuse or neglect of
any kind -- it has never been about inadequate parenting -- but for not
submitting a curriculum to the local school district.

Just for the record, the Hell and Hitler and Religion and so on threads,
where opinons are not masquerading as facts, are all in the realm of Helen's
"we do encourage wandering off that topic [of unschooling]."

So, yes, they're more than tolerated! :-)
