That argument could be used against lots of Christian churches, and a lot of
Christian homeschoolers!

Oy. I don't think I want to go THERE. That's another assumption, too, when
people hear I'm homeschooling, they often think it's because I'm Christian.
*wrong*

But that reminds me of your post on Children's Rights. A lot of the most
liberal people I've talked to, when they had an issue with homeschooling, point
to those kinds of situations as the dark side of a home based education. If we
had a standard Children's Rights bill, or constitutional amendment, that
issue wouldn't be such a problem.

Hey, maybe all the unschooled kids will get the momentum going one day and
get the international treaty ratified here in the states.

To clarify what I'm talking about.....On the human right's watch page
