THANKS FOR THE “SUPPORT”
File this one under “With Friends Like These…”
Here’s a pretty ugly editorial out of VA. Chris, I think it’s clobberin’ time.
The end product of this year’s General Assembly session is making its way across the desk of Gov. Mark Warner. One bit of legislation that should never have made it through the House of Representatives, much less to the governor’s office, has gotten the deep-six via the governor’s veto.
…Home education should be based on standards, too, otherwise the drive to require them in public school is nothing but a sham and a means of dismantling free public education in America.
…We don’t think it would be fair to place this alternative program in jeopardy by loosening its standards; in fact, we think doing so would play into the hands of home-schooling’s worst critics.
Riiiight! The paper is so supportive of homeschooling that they think we “play schoolhouse.” Read the whole thing. And then thank God the Staunton News-Leader is not your hometown paper.
