Read the article. And the word "others" in my post. One young girl was deprived of her life because of the homeschooling discipline practices described here.
Why are you defending these murderers? At least they are well-intentioned Christian murderers?

Young girl = dead. Are you saying she wasn't deprived of those things?

I don't hate Christians, or Muslims, or other religious groups. It's the fundamentalist versions of these groups that are the problem here. They are the ones who want to enforce their views on others - denying people control over their own bodies, preventing people from marrying others of their choosing, denying educational opportunities solely because of a person's gender - all because these views conflict with their personal skewed version of morality.

Do you think those home-schooled FLDS girls in Texas would have chosen the opportunity to go to public school, or the forced marriage and incest-rape that they received instead?

I'm not defending those murderers, dumb***, I'm defending homeschooling. You're the idiot trying to indict an entire practice by one story. Stupid much?

Again, another isolated event. You're not making your case better.

Did Jesus kill your puppy. Jeez, we have enough Christian bashing bigots on here already.
Is there a small number of Christian Conservatives who are nut jobs? Yes. Doesn't compare to the number of nut jobs on the left. That would be every last single one of 'em.

RE: Problems with Homeschooling, part 666
Now I'll tell you now but I am personally no advocate of homeschooling, I just don't think it's my style. I do, however, stand for people to educate their children by whatever means they deem necessary as long as it isn't hurtful to those children.
Isolated incidents don't tell you the whole story about the condition of that method of education, and not even a really good measure of the individual school. Columbine was a public school, but I'll tell you that doesn't happen and isn't a great risk to happen in 99.9% of schools. This is the same thing, a sad sad situation but not likely to happen like that again.

I figured that would be your response... and I was only joking.
I would say, however, that seeing your parents fight is worse than seeing 2 classmates fight.

Well, no one's generally cheering for a winner in the latter.

Quote:Prosecutors allege the two victims were subjected to "hours" of corporal punishment by their parents on successive days last Thursday and Friday with a quarter-inch-wide length of rubber or plastic tubing, which police reportedly recovered from the parents' bedroom.
Police allege that the younger girl was being disciplined for mis-pronouncing a word during a home-school reading lesson the day before she died.
He said investigators are researching a possible connection to an Internet Web site set up by "fundamentalist Christian people" that recommends use of the same whip-like implement "as an appropriate tool for biblical chastisement ... to train a child from infancy to make them a happier child and more obedient to God because they are obedient to the will of their parents," said Ramsey.
I hope the older girl finds a new school before she tries to learn math and science, for her own safety.
I already read this story. I guess the first question is, what does this have to do with homeschooling?
Secondly, the record clearly and explicitly showed these parents' activities were in direct contrastat from those advocated by "fundamentalist Christian people," on the referenced web-site.
So the prosecutor threw that out there, even though the connection has been demonstrated to be one of opposition, not similarity. However, the PR damage is done, guilt by association. And the original poster propogates this. Hmmm...

You don't mention any problem with homeschooling, let alone "problems."

Let's see:
(1) Girl, age seven, now a corpse
(2) Girl, age twelve, severely beaten
That's at least two problems that resulted from this homeschooled environment by my count. I realize that women are problematic for you with that extra rib and all and supposed to be subservient to the will of men and thus not fully human, but the educated populace does not subscribe to your distorted ideals.

I can match and exceed that with one school shooting.
