AN OPEN LETTER TO HOMESCHOOL.COM
I received an email from homeschool.com pushing The Old Schoolhouse. My response:
TOS Editor Gina Suarez is a vocal supporter of Michael & Debbie Pearl, who encourage their followers to beat young children with plumbing supplies in order to instill discipline. Right-thinking homeschoolers are boycotting everything associated with TOS and the Pearls. I guess that may have to include homeschool.com

I guess I’ve taken myself so far off the homeschool mainstream that I don’t even rate a spam magazine subscription offer. Not sure if the should bother me, or thrill me. |

I suppose it doesn’t matter that I haven’t been spammed. I will be sending a similar letter myself. Thanks Daryl. |
