Jeremy needs to think harder about what religion and theocracy really mean.

Haha! "Helpful Criticism" You mean any post that agrees with your warped worldview and doesn't reveal your faulty logic?

You are simply regurgitating the same rhetoric over and over again Mr. Collins. You never clearly defined what you think a "sham homeschool" is. You have said yourself that we are not discussing the educational merit of homeschooling, only the fact that they do not necessarily share the same belief system as you.
With that in mind we can conclude that you are only blogging about your opinion, as most of your assertions come from the seemingly obvious fact that you don't care for Christian ideals.
I believe Jeremy White's comment below sums it up perfectly.

You need to read more carefully or I did not emphasize strongly enough that I was talking about sham home schools.

Samuel,
Where do I argue that we must have "exact statistics on everyone"? HSLDA makes claims about the "average homeschooler". The Indiana researchers are simply saying there is no "average homeschooler" so far as they can tell. You are chasing a bogus argument.

I have stressed that performance is not the issue. The issue is religious zealots using homeschools to sequester their children and raise them to hate their country and the open society. Since the children have no countervailing opinions, they will accept what their parents feed them without question. This is a recipe for disaster.

If the articles and books I offer as substantiation are not convincing perhaps it is because you did not read any of the material. Is this what you learned in law school? Study only one side of the case?

Sham home school parents have a postiion. They are simply too cowardly and afraid to announce it openly. Probably out of fear for their personal safety, but for sure because they are trying to be clandestine. Nevermind that a lot of people are on to them.

Why do you believe that we should have exact statistics on everyone? We should have the right to keep our information private if it be our will.

2. As you said, you are not making an argument that homeschoolers "underperform" So why be so worried?

3. I guess there's no such thing as a typical "public schooler" either. Every kid is different and for many, being educated at home might be a better solution. Why should the government have an educational monopoly? Why impede on people's freedom if they are not causing any damage? You claimed yourself that they don't even advocate a public position, so what damage would they be causing?

No, but you are clearly overreacting Mr. Collins. The Constitution states:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Clearly it is not saying Christians should "Rule the country" but instead gives equal rights to all.
Your claims are very outlandish.
