Homeschooling: The Future of Liberty

- Ron Paul -

If people do not have the right to decide how to raise and educate their own children, do they have any rights at all? For anyone to question weather the state or the parents should be in charge of these matters is scary. Saying that many parents are not qualified to teach their children (or more correctly help them learn) is total arrogance. Yes, some parents are not that well educated themselves. Why not? they went to public school, didn't they? Hmmm...do I sense a connection? The reality is that the public school system is yet another example of inefficiency and government control. I am speaking from Canada where we are constantly told how "superior" our public education system is. Some facts: Many students do not become proficient readers or writers. Many students lose their love of learning due to the disconnect of the subject matter from real life, the forced, limited curriculum, the stressful learning environment (sit in a desk too much, popularity contest, bullying, staff that are too burned out to care or help) etc.... Many students (I would say most) are poorly equipped for the world of business, work, family and government life. I could go on and on. A few more important notes: Someone on here brings up the old "they don't get to socialize with children their age" dig about homeschooling. I will leave you with this thought: How can children learn how to act and interact, only from other children their age? Should they not be around more adults, who can provide role models and teach them how to tackle the real challenges in life, such as running a business, raising children, building and farming and budgeting etc..., instead of texting each other under their desk in class about who to invite to the party on Friday? I want my children to learn good social skills, not the public school variety. Send your children if you think it best, but don't tell me I can't decide for myself. Thank you Ron Paul for all you do. You can come and be Prime Minister of Canada any time as far as I am concerned. - Signed, A no-longer teacher from Canada who has home-schooled from day one.

Beginning of the headline :A common feature of authoritarian regimes is the criminalization of alternatives to government-controlled education. Dictators recognize the danger that free thought poses to their rule, and few things promote the thinking of "unapproved" thoughts like an education controlled by parents instead of the state. That is why the National Socialist (Nazi) government of Germany outlawed homeschooling in 1938. Sadly, these Nazi-era restrictions on parental rights remain the law in Germany... Read More
