A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post on why parents who teach their children creation science or intelligent design in a way which elevates those teachings to a fundamental of the Christian faith are putting their children’s long term spiritual well being at risk. In the comments on that post (which were remarkably civil [...]

Did you know that homeschoolers sometimes leave their homes?

I’m still waiting to get my internet back on, so I don’t have time to blog properly about this, but I just wanted to direct everyone’s attention to an Outlook article from the Washington Post on homeschooling written by an actual homeschooling parent, no less! (I’m sure I’m the 5 kabilionth homeschool blogger to point [...]

I just want to let folks know that blogging around here is a going to be especially light for a week or so. A couple of weeks ago when my husband was still looking for work and things were looking really dire, I asked for help keeping my internet connection up. However, with some help [...]

There was an AP story out today which seems to have been picked up by most of the major papers which “reports” on the CDC study that found that 1 in 4 teenaged girls have an STD. Why is the number so high, you might ask. According to the AP “report” it is [...]
Planned Parenthood CARES about black people!

This is perversely funny. Anyone who knows anything about Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger knows that she has a reputation as a committed racist eugenicist. This is probably not an accurate assessment, but she lived in a time when eugenics was common and arguments against eugenics were used against her even in her day. (Not [...]
