Special Edition | Monday | October 13, 2003


Dear Subscribers:

Tonight's edition of CBS Evening News will include a story about home
education. Unfortunately, it appears as though the program will be
focusing on various murders and abuse cases in which the family was
presumed to be homeschooling. Something along the lines of
homeschooling "out of control."

The CBS web site includes the following information:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/1998/08/01/eveningnews/main15214.shtml
Up Next: Weekdays NEW YORK

And here's an early look at what we're working on for Monday's
broadcast:

Homeschooling has produced some brilliant young minds.. but there's a
dark
side to the movement that is putting children's lives at risk. A
special Eye
on America investigation only on Monday's CBS Evening News.


--------------------

If the predictions about the focus of tonight's report are accurate,
I hope that after watching it you will take a moment to contact CBS
and object to this blatant effort to discredit homeschooling and
create doubts in the minds of viewers about all legitimacy of all
homeschooling families. Attempts to link criminal behavior - of any
kind - to homeschooling are wrong and too often lead to increased
efforts to pass additional regulatory laws that accomplish little but
to further limit educational freedom.

For freedom,

Donna M. De Poalo
