The parents of nine Texas children are suing the state over the fact that they were asked to educate their children in subjects like math and spelling and not just church hymns and theology. Their argument: Why waste our time on education, when the second coming of Jesus Christ is upon us.
Like many homeschoolers, the McIntyre family in El Paso was given wide latitude in their children’s education. They had almost no oversight from educators. They were never required to follow a curriculum or have their children take standardized tests like children in public (and most private) schools do. The results weren’t pretty: The children learned almost nothing they couldn’t learn in Sunday school.
Even when one of the children tried to flee, the ignorance made escaping the situation difficult. The family’s 17-year-old daughter ran away from home after years of social and educational neglect. The state found a public school to place her in, but while her peers were starting their senior year, she was sent to 9th grade, where educators worried she would struggle to keep up.
Other family members of Michael McIntyre grew concerned, as well. According to Texas’s ABC Affiliate KRGV, her brother reported to the state that his brother and his wife were clearly neglecting their children’s education – and flaunting it.
this is the republican right wing agenda at work keep 'em dumb and down on the farm and there is little to no resistance to what they can perpetrate on those who have no clue.  making the parents not only complicit but the apparently guilty ones who deprived their kids of a real right wing education.

i have to ask do these parents love their kids and do they understand the harm they are doing, judging by the reason for suing given by the nine families suffice it to say the jury is still out.  they are creating the next generation of them which is okay because they see nothing wrong with indoctrinating kids in their world of hate and raciam and bigotry that theytowill not beable to explain why.  God Bless the child
