Look for the government to try and put a stop to homeschooling. The justice department ( Eric Holder) already came out recently and said you have no constitutional right to homeschool.

Few know that Jimmy Stewart rose to the rank of Brigadier General in the United States Air Force Reserve.

But I would put Charlton Heston along side of him.

I try to forget the general part. The real deal is he flew 25 combat missions.

When Wayne decided to settle in southern Texas in 'Red River', a couple of Mexicans rode up to tell him their boss owned the land and that he should get off.
His response was to shoot one of them dead and send the other back to tell their boss he was taking the land off him.
If the film was remade nowadays, the Wayne character would be scripted to say something like-"Tell your boss I'm willing to enter into a meaningful dialog with him to negotiate a compromise settlement"

Interesting how movies do stuff. The Red River is one of the northern borders of Texas.

To return to topic, we're compelled by law to entrust our kids to complete strangers (teachers) for many years of their young lives, so homeschooling gets our kids away from the bullshit brainwashing and false values.
A second alternative would be for us to closely monitor what teachers are putting in our kids heads to make sure it's alright.
Our kids brains are like hard drives and we don't want them cluttered up with garbage.

WOW A bill currently going through the Scottish Parliament that takes the state's intervention in family life to a startling new level. Under the Children and Young People (Scotland) Bill, every child from birth will be given a "named person", charged with keeping an eye on that child's interests until it reaches adulthood.

Now it's a social worker for every child - in Scotland - Telegraph

Oh boy! more jobs!

Aw shoot, they are government jobs so taxes will have to increase to pay for it.

That's ok though, your children will be 'taken care of' by your government.........

Just to clarify what i said earlier about teachers, I know they're not all krap, just most of them, and that there are some good ones around.
Incidentally I've just looked up the USA Communist Party on Wiki and I see they've got about 20,000 members, which is enough for one to be planted in 20,000 assorted schools, colleges, universities, government offices, military academies, social work depts etc to spread their traitorous poison-
"An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries
his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those
within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through
all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.
...He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and
unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city,
he infects the body politic.."
-Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 BC-43 BC)

And as Ricky pointed out, Scotland is appointing lefty social workers to oversee children like political commissars to make sure they're being fed politically-correct garbage, it's another commie plot.

This rant of Papa Jo's applies equally to the USA and Britain--
"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold:
its patriotism, its morality and its spiritual life.
If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."
-Joseph Stalin

So 20,000 commies! That's about one commie per 15,000 folks.

You don't mind 20,000 godless lying commies in your fair land?
There are probably many, many more who prefer to stay hidden for fear of the Klan..

Can you imagine how great this country would be without public schools?

I think quite a few hippy commune members had babies at home and never registered their births, and the kids grew up totally off the grid and invisible to the authorities, never going to school or anything.
Maybe somebody should research how they've got on in life and write a book about them called something like "The Invisible Babies"

Can you imagine Leroy, your average ghetto dweller, being left with the responsibility to educate his kids? Remember the guy with 22 kids by 14 women? Public school ain't perfect but think of all the folks who are products of public schools, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Ronald Reagan, etc. About 3/4th of those admitted to the primeer American universitiies, MIT, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford came out of public schools.

The only useful stuff I learnt at school was how to read, write and do simple arithmetic, that's all any average kid needs. If he/she wants to do more it should be voluntary, not force-fed to him.
For example I hated algebra with a passion and could never do it because it bored the krap out of me.
Aged 11, I asked my mate Sam- "What's algebra FOR? What's it MEAN?".
"Beats me" he replied.
"Well why do we have to do it?" I answered.
"Because we'll get in trouble with teacher if we don't" was his reply.
But I detested it and was always in trouble.
After 2 years my headmaster said the magic words I was longing to hear-"I think you'd be happier at another school" and bingo! I moved to a bright and breezy easy-going school which didn't teach algebra..

This is my wretched algebra school, it was as Dickensian and oppressive as it looks-

I agree, most folks don't need algebra. I also hated school when I was a kid, dropped out of school and joined the army. Found I liked it when I got out of the army. I would be happy if public school only went to the 8th - 10th for most kids. Teach 'em a trade and put them to work. Now, because of political correctness it is considered racist to track some kids to college and others to trades.

Algebra is useful to figure out how long your trip will be, how much fuel you use, how efficient your structure is, and a lot more in my everyday life.
Algebra teaches you how to prove your work - it is not about getting the correct answer as much as showing you the steps it takes to get the solution. One might say it teaches critical thought processes.
