What does it mean to have a right to an education? We have compulsory education in all of our fifty states, so far as I know, but do we need to formalize that as a right as well? Is education even something that you can have a right to? I subscribe to [...]
Many on my side of the homeschooling fence subscribe to one or more of these philosophies, which gave me pause to think. Are we worshipping idols, family style?
