26. To me we are missing the MUCH BIGGER STORY...


How is a kid who is home schooled allowed to compete in an event like that which is intended for kids in public school?

If the Parents determine the class curriculum is unsuitable for this student, how are the extra curricular activities and other after school programs deemed okay?

Think about it.

The parent pull the kid out of public school (costing the school system money) so they can brainwash their kid with religious propaganda (their choice I suppose), and then at the end of the school day they drive the kid down to the local high school so he can compete in wrestling, basketball, soccer etc.?


Why is there not more outrage by this?

Do home school parents have to pay an added fee so their kids can compete on the backs of the public tax payer?



Our news media loves to miss the big story. In the name of Rachel Maddow…. TALK ABOUT BURYING THE LEAD!
