The Homeschooling Revolution



August 10, 2007

"Anti-Czar Czar" Applauds Home Educators

James Bovard, author of Attention Deficit Democracy, and Lost Rights, challenges the brainwashed to stop feeling like they "owe" the government a debt and, therefore, should be "grateful" for everything from public-sector mail services to road construction.

He also has a few choice words about edukashun: "Public high schools graduate an estimated 700,000 functionally illiterate teenagers each year. Regardless of how badly school officials fail to serve students, parents are left no recourse but to file complaints with the same unresponsive bureaucracy."

Fortunately, he closes that section on a note of hope, not despair: "The rapid spread of the home-schooling movement (whose students consistently outscore public-school students on standardized tests) vivifies how parents can do better on their own."

Keep on vivifying, people!
