We have always homeschooled since my oldest started school and had a bad experience. I am always the first one to say, "The reason we home school has nothing to do with public school teachers. I believe if you want a good education and you live in the United States of America and desire a good education. You can get that at any public school." Homeschooling is our choice and I do NOT feel other choices for other families are wrong. And it is really none of my business, anyway.
In the homeschool world, you often get the terms 'those kinds of homeschoolers' or at least you guys aren't 'the weird kind of homeschoolers'. Meaning my kids wear pants, dye their hair crazy colors, have iPods, are more socialized than some public schoolers and so on. You see where I am going with this.
I have often looked at those other kinds of homeschoolers and been slightly curious as there lifestyles seemed so different yet intriguing to the naked eye. The eye that doesn't see inside the home.
My mom was given a copy of Michael and Debi Pearls book once To Train up a Child. She gave it to me without reading it and I delved in. As they were ..those kinds of homeschoolers... At the time I was appalled. I will post a link to several quotes from the book at the end of this blog such as beating to submission. Terrible abuse.
I have also been a long term supporter of Vision Forum.... We have... Well now I will state we had ordered some home schooling material from this catalog. Like most home schoolers, I had ordered from this company mostly history and than goodness I ordered none of its character building. What I didn't realized was their mission statement which supports a Patriarchal lifestyle. Meaning women are not allowed a voice. Ever. As in... Women are only here to serve men. Yes.... Only to help their man. Whether that mean their father... Or husband. A man is basically the God of the home. Also racism, they speak of the south in such a demeaning way and I will leave it at that.
This is wrong.
I did not even know of this lifestyle.
This is insane.
Women are being abused. Children especially daughters are being abused in this lifestyle and I was supporting it.
This is my public opinion beware of anything Michael or Debi Pearl or Doug Phillips or anything coming form Vision forum. Doug Phillips, public speaker aka Patriarchal lifestyle believer aka just had an affair and abused his power with a young girl, that he speaks of straight from God.
Run.
Any homeschooling material I have purchased from Vision Forum will be going in the garbage, luckily most of it was so boring we never used it. It is going in the garbage, because it is garbage.
Here is the link with quotes from the most satanic book I have ever read To Train Up a Child.
