Will Grigg: Nationalizing Children

"Like many others of her ideological persuasion, Harris-Perry is a stranger to concision. In describing the totalitarian state’s proprietary claim on children, someone who represented a slightly different strain of collectivism – albeit not as different as Harris-Perry would insist – stated the matter much more tidily almost exactly eighty years ago."

German Family Seeking Asylum to Continue Homeschooling Kids in US Fights Deportation

"On April 23, 2013, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals will hear arguments in the case of Romeike v. Holder, where the family will attempt to have the deportation order made against them set aside. While the Romeikes had originally been granted asylum in the United States, on the grounds Germany prevented them from homeschooling their children, that decision was overturned by a panel of the Board of Immigration Appeals. German parents have not been able to legally homeschool their children since the practice was banned by the Nazis in 1938." Continue reading →

18 Reasons Why Doctors and Lawyers Homeschool Their Children

"I wanted my kids integrated and socialized. I wanted their eyes opened to the realities of the world. I wanted the values we taught at home put to the test in the real world. But necessity drove me to consider homeschooling for my 2nd and 4th graders, and so I timidly attended a home school parent meeting last spring. Surprisingly it was full of doctors, lawyers, former public school teachers, and other professionals. These were not the stay-at-home-moms in long skirts that I expected. The face of homeschooling is changing. We are not all religious extremists or farmers, and our kids are not all overachieving academic nerds without social skills." Continue reading →

“Anti-Government” Couple on Run With Children; Lost Custody After Pot Charge

"Joshua Michael Hakken and his wife Sharyn Hakken are on the run in Florida after kidnapping their own two children from Sharyn's mother this morning. Patricia Hauser has had legal custody of her grandchildren, four-year-old Cole and two-year-old Chase, since 2012, when Joshua and Sharyn lost custody for displaying pot in front of their sons at an 'anti-government rally' in Louisiana. There aren't a lot of details out there right now, so it's possible that the Hakkens really were a danger to their kids. But it will be just so goddamn awful if all of this is the result of them using some marijuana at a rally in front of their kids." Continue reading →

"At first glance it looks like a bad rap video — a phalanx of officers walking through a neighborhood, residents yelling taunts and obscenities, while Ice-T’s 'F— the Police' is pumping out of a stereo at full volume. It shows the Manatee County Sheriff’s gang unit snapping pictures of residents with their cellphones — sometimes inches from their faces. It also shows two arrests. '“The video shows the officers standing with scowls, flexing their muscles in front of one group of eight or nine friends, who are standing on their own property,' Britt said. ' ‘Provocative’ is a word for it. It certainly is intimidating to say the least.'" Continue reading →
