One thing that really irritates me about homeschooling in this part of the country is that a) there seem to be a lot of people doing it for cultish religious reasons who have no fucking idea what they're doing academically and b)that everyone assumes that if you're homeschooling you're one of these people.

One of the local hs groups has advertised that they're having a field trip to the Noble Natural History Museum accompanied by a "creation scientist" whatthefuckever that is, at $25 per family, to explain what's wrong with all the exhibits. Why are they bothering? Couldn't they just stay home and not clog up the museums if they're going specifically to keep from learning things? They could stay home and not learn for free plus not be out in the community giving other homeschoolers a bad name.

Well, I'm not sure "Hey everybody, let's worship me!" counts as a real cult. As I'm a little lacking in followers and all. And I hate koolaid, though you can take your chances on some Smirnoff Twisted Black Cherry. :-)

I hope this didn't come across as hating all people of faith. I don't, obviously, but I think this is a very silly outing and I think "creation science" is well, perhaps not actually science.

Hope you know your going to HELL :-P

but, seriously, everytime I read a post from you I think. "I need to talk to her"
So could you email me? strawbrit@yahoo.com. Thanks.
There are a few HSs at All Souls that do it for non religious reasons.

Latest Lame Creationist Idea

What, you haven't heard? One of the latest brainstorms of the creationist groups is to go to the museum and "attack" the docent by ganging up on them while spouting all of the supposed "facts" that disprove evolution. They've started special training classes for museum guides and docents to teach them how to deal with it.
