HSLDA and naive homeschoolers

Okay I won’t belabor the point. I’m a social liberal by most people’s standards, and so my views on HSLDA don’t have a lot of weight with conservative christians.

But Booboo isn’t sure why everyone shouldn’t be happy to support them. Rather than lay all the arguements out, I figured that sending her to Spunky will help her see why another christian isn’t happy to send them her money. But, she’s monitoring comments, so I’ll post it here instead. Hopefully, she will consider the facts and understand where we are coming from.

If anyone is interested in other reasons not to send money to these people, take a quick look here.

    I had originally read the deleted post on bloglines (where it still shows) and was going to comment then didn’t find it.

    I didn’t think it was that sharp at all. Maybe that’s because I agree with you 100% though.

    All my local friends told me the first thing I had to do was join HSLDA, and when I started checking it out and found that you have to use a boxed curriculum plus the fact that they push things that *I do not agree with* I said forget it. If I need legal help, I’ll get my own lawyer, thank you very much.
