Reply #2: My son is homeschooled to keep him out of the grasps of the...

Southern Baptist fundies who hold teaching and administrative positions at his school.

And there is a new wave of liberals in the south doing the same thing as I.

I could tell you stories that would frighten you--about the state of education in my state. For instance, teachers read bible stories to children. Any child who doesn't want to participate is only allowed to lay his or her head on the desk. And then the children are tested on the bible stories. All the children, including the Muslim one (the one who was forced to sit in the principal's office, as if he were being punished, for fasting during Ramadan). And the kids have to answer interpretive questions about "salvation," "redemption," and so forth.

God forbid you oppose this "instruction." Your kid is then ostracized and bullied by the teachers.

And so is the state of education in Mississippi. That's why my son is home with me now.
