Hitchens on home education

Peter Hitchens pens a robust defence of home education.

I knew this was coming. The inflamed, all-seeing red eye of political correctness, glaring this way and that from its dark tower, has finally discovered that home schooling is a threat to the Marxoid project, and has launched its first open attack on it.

I've said this before. Home educators are in the forefront of the battle for civil liberties. This isn't the fight of an obscure minority but a battle for everyone's rights to go about their business free from state interference. We are innocent until proven guilty.

Well said, Bishop. I only wish more people understood this point.
