RE: What Does the Turpin Family Tragedy Mean for Homeschooling Families?
Great article! I stand with you on this as a homeschool parent. We cannot allow our right to teach our children to be taken away because of one bad apple. I hate to hear about abuse like this, especially when it’s from the parents. I pray for families and children’s like this often. Stories like these does put the heat on us because people place homeschoolers into one category. If one homeschool is doing it so are the others and that is definitely not the case. Thank you for bringing our attention to this~
I read a post on a friend's Facebook page today that makes me question the validity of the whole situation. It is insane how the media plays their cards just right to create a frenzy over the abuse by this homeschooling family, when in all reality, it's probably more like California is trying to get less parents to homeschool. They've lost tons of federal dollars at their schools because of a required 100% vaccination policy of all students. So parents have pulled kids to homeschool them. What's the best way to get back at these parents? International media frenzy leading to regulations in California that make it more difficult to homeschool there! I don't know what the truth is in this situation, but a lot of the "facts" don't add up and if the mainstream media is picking up this story...it makes me wonder even more!
Wow I had no idea all of that was going on out there. I must admit I’m glad to see more and more parents sticking their ground and not vaccinating under pressure. These vaccination laws are getting stricter and stricter. This is one of the reasons we don’t watch mainstream media any more...most of the news is exaggerated and even made up. It’s sad that you can’t trust the news channels to give you the real news. They don’t want us to know what’s really going on.
Yes, they definitely don't want us to know what is going on! It is so sad that we can't trust the media. It is good to see parents standing up for their right to parent their own children and make decisions for them.
