Well, I'm afraid I cannot get Rense to load so for now I can only really comment on the second article.
To me, this illustrates another point that people cannot let education systems build foundations of personal beliefs and ideologies. It's a pity
that many children/young adults do not encounter the basics of critical thinking and logic. That way, when certain subjects were brought up, they
could think for themselves and do their own research on such matters.
My father told me many times throughout my life was that you had to teach yourself, I could not depend on the educational system to give me the
education I needed.
In general though, the articles mentioned in this thread illustrate a view that the government knows best. Quite frankly, I do not agree with this
attitude of the government's. Though I wasn't able to view that article about homeschooling, such a ruling does concern me. As long as children
are getting a proper education, I see no problem with homeschooling.
