    Homeschooling is only mentioned tangentially in this article, but I want to present a couple of quotes that I found funny:

    Isn’t someone who wishes for a bible-based theocracy by definition one of those wack-job fundies?

    I saw a homeschool rant last night that used the new (at least to me) phrase “mental liberty” to rebut Rob Reich et al on the creep of “classroom collectivism” — sigh, “mental liberty” has the drawback that anything good can be made dark and twisty by some wack-job (ask Valerie watching Jesus Camp…)
