Julien Brygo, a freelance journalist based in France, here laments that American homeschooling has become a “breeding ground for conservative ideology.”
Near the end of the piece, Brygo quotes this anecdote from a member of the National Education Association:
Whatever their faults, state schools play a vital training role in culture and knowledge of society. The children learn about life there, they encounter different opinions, and just because parents fear ‘bad influences’ does not mean they have a right to keep their children away. [Emphasis mine.]
Does anyone think the NEA would be so dead set against home education if most homeschooling families were liberal? This quote reminds me yet again why the NEA is one of the most liberty-threatening groups in the nation.
