As written by Ann Zeise on her A to Z homeschool website, "Democrats Homeschool Too"!
Most people like to put homeschoolers into a little box. They classify us as odd, reclusive, and Conservative Christians... very Conservative, and definitely Republican. But the truth is, there are homeschoolers on both sides of the political
fence.
While, I don't categorize myself as either Democratic or Republican, I have voted both, and most recently Democratic. Yes, I get a lot of flack for this, living in the Conservative South, but here's the question I ask in return:
If we are all homeschooling, following our own path to educate our children, then why are we becoming sheep and following any political movement, based on the sole fact that we are homeschoolers? It seems a litle off to me.
So, here's to you Democratic homeschoolers out there!
