Homeschooling in Germany could cost you your children. Why do people fear the freedom to education one’s own child so much? Because, in the end, they detest freedom.

Moore: Americans are stupid. Americans: Yeah, we know.
A few weeks ago, Michael Moore was quoted as saying that Americans are stupid. Well, today, America has lent a little bit of credibility to Michael Moore: Moore’s crock-umentary Fahrenheit 911 passed the $100 million mark.
Hamburgers in North Korea: Quality Food

Dad investigated for NOT drugging son
Dad Investigated for Taking Son Off Meds
“The detective told me if I did not medicate my son, I would be arrested for child abuse and neglect.”
The “meds” referred to here are drugs designed to alter the personality of the child — specifically, Ritalin. So now we have a government agent telling a father that he is required to give his son drugs to make him less of a boy. That’s what it’s about — the kid doesn’t fit well into the classroom setting, so instead of working with the child in a setting less artificial, dope him up and make him more passive. Rob him of his personality because it doesn’t suit the synthetic “educational” environment he is being forced into.
The worship of education
Our society worships education.
I just watched a segment on Fox News about a father who refused to let his son work on the family farm. The son really likes farming, and wants to farm, just like his dad. But the father has forbidden his son from pursuing the same career and has required him to go to college, making him find other work.
This is stupid. There is nothing wrong with farming as a career. We all rely on farmers and someone has to farm! Why not let it be someone who likes farming? By what objective measure is getting a college degree and going for a non-agrarian career better than farming?
Stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Making education god.
