Akron Beacon Journal Responses

The Akron Beacon Journal has published it’s follow up to the response it got on the homeschooling series. From the article, ODonnellWeb, a pro-home-school site, repeatedly referred to the series as “journalistic vomit.” Heh. They Goggle bombed themselves. They also quoted me a couple of other times. “I get the definite impression that if (the) [...]

And they know what we think

Don Gookin noticed that somebody hit his site from the Akron Beacon Journal via a Google search on “journalistic vomit.” Heh. I checked my logs. I got six hits today from the same IP address that Don identifies as ABJ. All six via a Google search on journalistic vomit. If you search Google for journalistic [...]

HSLDA responds to the Akron Beacon

Responding to the journalistic vomit, HSLDA concludes Homeschoolers excel academically, socially, and in ways that bring lasting benefits to families and our nation. The reason for this success can be traced to the individualized nature of home education. If the government were given power to intervene even further in the lives of homeschool families?as the [...]

ABJ Feedback

They asked for feedback – this is what I sent. 1. Should home schoolers be permitted to define themselves, or should homeschooling outside the home be regulated?, Education is education. It does not matter where the education takes place. In the home, or in the woods, who cares? Government should have zero authority to regulate [...]

ABJ on HSLDA

Our favorite merchants of journalistic vomit try to come up with the dirt on HSLDA and Patrick Henry College, but they fail. They try to make a big deal our of the fact that Patrick Henry College is lilly white (does that really surprise anybody?), but it falls flat. They try to scare the readers [...]

Akron Beacon Journal – Day 5

The journalistic vomit flows freely in Ohio today. It starts by reviewing the facts in an Ohio case where HS’ers and HSLDA mobilized to force an Ohio school district to follow Ohio law. This, of course, is presented as some sort of victory for the forces of evil. The so called journalists then discuss the [...]

Journalistic Vomit

Try it on Google. Heh. I rule

Akron Beacon Journal – Day 4

Only one more day of this tripe. Today’s journalistic vomit tries to advance the theory that many homeschooled kids are victims of a child abduction. Unfortunately for the authors, they have a hard time finding anybody to support their thesis as even the FBI and various child abduction experts agree that there is no evidence [...]

Don Gookin has my back

I was 30 minutes into a viscous fisking of today’s journalistic vomit from the assholes at The Akron Beacon Journal. Then my monitor, which for the last year has been doing the Arafat, (I’m dead, no I’m not, yes I am, I’m really dead this time) died again, leaving me cut off from a half [...]

The Akron Beacon Beating – Day 2

Not a full fisking, but there were a few passages I just could not ignore. The recent study and one in 1999 that had similar findings make it clear that home-schooling parents want to be the primary influence on their children’s moral, ethical and religious views. They don’t want their children to be socialized by [...]

Worst Homeschool Article Ever

Those of you that have been here for a while know that I’ve been very consistent in my warning that media whoring and the quest for special homeschooling rights was going to bite us in the ass. Consider this one very large bite in the ass. It’s such a hatchet job that it would take [...]
