 Two days ago, the Monroe Township Schools pulled two books off of their summer reading list in response to complaints by parents about the books’ contents.

Why? Because both books contained graphic homosexual imagery.

This UN atrocity is near and dear to my heart. I have been working to help stop it since last year. There is a UN resolution that Hillary Clinton is supporting; we should be well aware of it to help stop it. It is called the "UN Resolution Convention on the Rights of the Child."

GRAY, Tenn., January 4, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - As the modern-day homeschool movement confidently marches forward into its fourth decade, colleges and universities are opening wide their doors to welcome its mature, prepared graduates to their ranks. Homeschoolers score an average of 37 percentile points above the national average on standardized achievement tests and typically score above average on the SAT and ACT, statistics that apparently have caught the eye of college admissions personnel. Since 1999, the number of homeschoolers in the United States has increased by 74%, and today thousands of young men and women are graduating from high school—at home.

The education Nazi's are about to step into your home and take your children.  I am a homeschooling mother and if the UN Right's of the child comes to pass here in USA we will be denied the right to homeschool.  Do you believe that those in power know better for your children?  They will educate your children in all the perversions that exist.  We must elected candidates with values and principles this November.  God, country and family will bring sanity back in politics.   Wake up America!  ~ C4F

More than 22,620 Texas secondary students who stopped showing up for class in 2008 were excluded from the state's dropout statistics because administrators said they were being home-schooled, according to Texas Education Agency figures.

But that's where the scrutiny of this growing population seems to end, leaving some experts convinced that schools are disguising thousands of middle and high school dropouts in this hands-off category.

While home-schooling's popularity has increased, the rate of growth concentrated in Texas' high school population is off the chart: It's nearly tripled in the last decade, including a 24 percent jump in a single year.

“That's just ridiculous,” said Brian D. Ray, founder of the National Home Education Research Institute. “It doesn't sound very believable.”
