This is me.

A vast majority of homeschoolers are very conservative Christians who are preparing their boys to be Godly leaders and their girls to be “keepers at home”

That has been our society for a long time, but that isn’t what I am trying to point out.

I am a Conservative, Christian homeschooler and I am teaching my children religious values. I am not, however, teaching them to secede from the world and to live in an isolated little enclave on the fringes of reality.

In a pluralistic society, we have different views, beliefs, values, whatever. We need to live together peacefully, but we don’t have to agree. That is what it means to live in our society.

It does not mean that I have to teach my children only what you have determined to be true. Anymore than you have to teach your children what I have determined to be true.

I absolutely disagree. A vast majority of homeschoolers are very conservative Christians who are preparing their boys to be Godly leaders and their girls to be “keepers at home”. While there is a growing movement of secular and moderate homeschoolers, surveys ALWAYS produce “religious reasons” as the first and foremost reason parents homeschool. This majority is indeed indoctrinating their children, and it isn’t any better than the liberal socialization of public education. They both result in single minded culture, with the homeschoolers breathing heavy upon the social rights of “the vast majority” of citizens.

I think that article was very enlightening. The quote above is curious because that’s exactly what others accuse Christian parents of doing–creating robots with no thoughts but those of their parents or their church (which, I may add, I am NOT doing. I am raising reasoning adults, not “yes” men and women.). I guess the educational system is jealous and wants that job for themselves, no?
