You may not - but lots of liberals do.

I'm betting I could find a family of 10 who sent their kids to public school where all went to college. What would I prove by doing so?

Look at te ages of the kis going to college.

I havent seen any liberals on this site say they are against home schooling. I believe you are confusing the idea of not shutting down public schools with hating home schooling.

These kids proved the lefties wrong.

And...there you go, right on schedule.

Congratulations for being predictable.

The one kid is in the US Navy physician program. I know a few guys that went through that and almost certainly you wouldn't make the cut seeing as how you can't even read the article.

I was going to say....what kind of person looks down their nose at people that cut hair, work as bank tellers, install dry-wall etc?

If people have to make fun of others professions because it meets their political needs, they need to do some soul searching and find where they misplaced it.

Yeah, if I recall....Bill Gates doesn't have a degree either. How does he get through the day!?!? Oh the horror that must be his life!

My cousin who owns his own plumbing company probably makes more money than the majority of his relatives that got degrees.

No they don't. Good lord I'm totally embarrassed for you. See?

All sorts of people homeschool their kids. I think a lot of people don't trust it. It's not really a political agenda type thing, although of course you'll do your best to make it one. Perhaps you should have been homeschooled yourself. Might have helped.

Liberals around the country have tried to outlaw, or severely limit, homeschooling, charter schools, private schools, charter schools, etc....

This has been going on for decades and is not up for debate. It is fact. A quick internets search will prove this.

The teacher unions are against all these choices and they support the Democratic Party.
