Comments on: Homeschooling and Child Abuse: Should We Increase Requirements? http://bringinguplearners.com/2008/01/14/homeschooling-and-child-abuse-should-we-increase-requirements/ Just another WordPress weblog Sat, 11 Jul 2009 17:57:06 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 By: Mrs. C http://bringinguplearners.com/2008/01/14/homeschooling-and-child-abuse-should-we-increase-requirements/comment-page-1/#comment-124 Mrs. C Thu, 17 Jan 2008 19:13:38 +0000 http://bringinguplearners.com/?p=98#comment-124 I guess my BIGGEST concern is that the American people have slowly lost touch with what it means to have personal rights and freedoms. I see *no* outcry from liberals or the ACLU. THEORETICALLY, those people should be the first ones hopping in anger at the idea of this intrusion into private lives. What happened to, "My body, my choice, my right to decide?" Ah... after the child is born, though, I suppose it belongs to the state. There are a lot of well-meaning people who are advocating for "universal preschool" and the like right now, though. Your prediction of an earlier surrender to the state by parents will probably happen. S l o w l y. And without the protests that really should be there.
