Is the Chic Fil A controversy rallying Republican voters?

23. Don't Overlook Home Schools

I am not trying to bash home schooling as 100% a bad thing. My DIL has home schooled our three grandchildren for all of their education and the oldest one is starting HS this year. And when she started doing it, I believe she did it for the right reasons....the school district they lived in was bad and she felt like she could do a better job. But as the years have passed, she has "found religion" and has slowly slanted their education to a really conservative, narrow view of the world. She is teaching them a Biblical based version of science even though she was advised by highly educated family members who are experts in the field of education not to go that route. They tried to explain to her the problems the children will face if they do not have the right background in science once they reach college age, particularly the oldest one who is interested in engineering. They even gave her a referral to someone they knew at a university in her state so she could discuss what she was planning to do regarding their science education. She chose not to take any of the expert advise she got. She is an intelligent women, but believes the Bible is to be taken literally, so that is what she teaches. I nearly weep every time I think about it, but there is nothing I can do except try to not create problems by making this a huge issue.

My main point is to emphasize how much support home schoolers give each other and how much they reinforce their Right Wing Opinions. ( am not saying there are not liberal homeschoolers....just that I have seen how many there are that are very conservative.) They do this via Face book, email and blogs. Some years ago the average home schooling family would have had few resources but that has changed and they have many, many ways to connect with one another. I've read some of their blogs and FB entries and they are a unified bunch who will go out of their way to support each other and make sure they know that others feel just like they do. And they do discuss politics and issues like Marriage Equality and abortion. All of that matters very much to them.
