Quote From: rdskinnerWhat concerns me, is that I think many with devout religious beliefs, are using home schooling to indoctrinate their children and avoid exposure to other religious beliefs or science they feel contradicts their religious beliefs. This is one reason there is so much hatred bred in the theocracies of the Middle East, where their schools and teachings are run by radical religious teachers.
Religion should be taught by parents, and non-religious subjects should be taught in school. Eventually, the children will decide whether they conflict (I don't believe they do) and what they believe. But they deserve the benefit of full exposure and knowledge before making those choices.
Just so you know, I homeschool my chiildren and religion has nothing to do with it. We are devout christians and I teach my children our beliefs. But they also know the beliefs of others and when the time comes, it will be THEIR chioce what belief guides theif life. Your comments are just another one of thoe stereotypes that are bias and have no backing of understanding.
