Homeschooling Intimidates Socialists

The typical fundamentalist, Protestant home schooling family lives “in trailer parks, 1,000 square foot homes, houses owned by relatives, and some on tarps in fields. . . . Their lack of job skills, passed from one generation to the next, depresses the community's overall economic health. . .” So writes Robin West from Georgetown University Law Center, in a vile little piece on home education in America.

But professor West has a more fundamental beef with home education. Really smart people know that home schooling cracks the monopoly on education, the socialist model for herding the populace, the centralist tendencies of the modern nation. Yet she doubts the political impact of this “rabble.”

Kevin Swanson interacts with these ideas and the long term impact of this decentralizing trend in education on this edition of Generations.
