Targeting 3 or 4- year olds as potential criminals??
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8216671/

The above link is to an article about targeting children as young as 3 or 4 years old as potential criminals.

What disturbs me is if authorities there think that this is appropriate, I just know some authorities in the United States will also think that targeting American children as potential criminals is appropriate.

If I was a young parent with school age children, given the conditions of most schools, and the approach that too many State governments are taking in respect to parental authority, I would take my children out of harms way.

It is not impossible to do!

With most parents having to work, regardless if married or single, Home Schooling your children seems impossible - but does Home Schooling have to be an impossible choice?

NO!

Home Schooling is possible for most working parents, if parents work together.

There is no law that prevents a group of parents from hiring a Home School Teacher, or instructor.

For example, I live in a subdivision, why in the world do I have to put my kids on the school bus with a bunch of my neighbors children? Why can't parents who live as neighbors Home School their children in small groups? Either the parents can take turns on any given week day, or bring in a Teacher, and split the cost.

In this day and age, our children seem to be targets of not only criminals, but local and state authorities.

And where do most children experience peer pressure, bullying, and maltreatment? Schools

When authorities approve of children being handcuffed and shakled...

When authorities cannot protect children because the schools are too crowded...

THEN WHY SEND YOUR CHILDREN TO SCHOOL to be victimized!

Hillary Clinton believes it takes a village to raise a child. I just happen to agree with her.

If you live in an apartment complex, surely parents can get together to get their children Home Schooled.

I personally believe that too many local and state governments are criminalizing children - for profit.

Despite our good intentions, however, conditions have not improved. Our liberal hearts are bleeding, but only 9% of eighth-graders in our nation's capital can read proficiently.
