Homeschooling keeps parents' options open
by Paul W. Bennett
Homeschooling was once the best-kept secret in Nova Scotia education. Since Auditor General Jacques Lapointe issued his Nov. 21, 2012, report raising concerns.
Supporters of home education for children reacted immediately to Lapointe's rather outlandish claim that "the rights of kids educated at home" might be "at risk." Now the auditor general has stirred the pot again. On CBC Radio's Maritime Noon (May 9), Lapointe went further, charging that it was "a seriously flawed program" where the Department of Education was "failing in its responsibility to respect the rights of children." Studio guest Robert Berard, a Mount Saint Vincent University professor, and five straight callers effectively refuted his claims, one by one. The question remains: How much regulation is too much when it comes to homeschooling?

Appeals court denies homeschooling family's asylum claim
by Leigh Jones
The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied a German couple's bid for asylum in the United States today, pushing their family one step closer to deportation.
Uwe and Hannelore Romeike moved to the United States in 2008 because Germany does not allow parents to homeschool their children. The couple, devout Christians, feared the state school system would undermine their children's faith. The couple already faced $9,000 in fines for keeping their children home and knew the German government could take their children from them if they continued to keep them out of government-approved schools.

Here's Why There Are More Latinos in Foster Care Than Ever Before
by Emily DeRuy
Hispanic youth used to represent a disproportionately small number of all the children in foster care. Unfortunately, they're catching up.
The Chronicle of Social Change, a site that covers juvenile justice and child welfare, points out that the longer Latino families are in the United States, the closer they get to everything from incarceration to alcoholism and divorce. This, in part, leads to more Latino kids in the foster care system.

Homeschoolers and Data Tracking
A national database of student-specific data is very concerning for many reasons. The national databases being created now include detailed records of students, including race, gender, birth information, learning disabilities, detailed academic records..
This information is being collected soon after birth, all the way through graduation from college. The more personal information that is included, the greater the danger to the student's privacy and safety if the data is breached. Will certain data make it harder for students to get into higher education? Will it be disclosed to government employers, or even private employers?

GMO's Do you know what you're eating? Flounder in Tomatoes? Should food have to be labelled?
In the US and many countries there's a refusal to force manufacturers to clearly label products that use GMO's. Wheat, Corn, almost all food stocks are now GMO's and many are used as feed to animals.
Look at low chicken and pork prices in the US and what are those animals fed mostly? GMO's. When I was a kid in the 70's the news talked about vaccines being implanted into crops in Africa to help fight disease. A noble goal indeed. Instead this has turned into a vicious money game with big players like Monsanto controlling whole markets with government support. The big questions other than following the money is simply why not label foods GMO and give the public the choice? Why suppress information? Why suppress studies? Even foods labelled as Organic or with organic practices may be grown from GMO seeds.

Gay couple left free to abuse boys - because social workers feared being branded homophobic
by Paul Sims
A homosexual foster couple were left free to sexually abuse vulnerable boys in their care because social workers feared being accused of discrimination if they investigated complaints, an inquiry concluded yesterday.
Craig Faunch and Ian Wathey were one of the first homosexual couples in the country to be officially approved as foster parents. They looked after 18 children in only 15 months. With no previous convictions, they came across as respectable men who simply wanted to help boys with a variety of problems. In reality, they were pedophiles, who repeatedly abused the children in their care.

Ron Paul launches his own complete Homeschool online
by Tom Woods
Over the past several weeks I have mentioned that I've been at work on a K-12 homeschool curriculum. That wasn't the whole story. Today I can tell you the whole story: it is the Ron Paul Homeschool Curriculum.
The online homeschool not only covers grades K-12, but also provides the knowledge and curriculum to be able to "test-out" of your first 2 years of college by encouraging the use of CLEP exams. The emphasis in this program is not simply on teaching from a different point of view, or teaching material that no other school or curriculum offers, although the Ron Paul Curriculum does both of these things. But it also emphasizes oral and written communication, so that students will be able to spread and defend their ideas effectively. Students will have their own blogs, start YouTube channels, and even learn the basics of video production, website design, and Internet marketing.

Is Organic Milk Healthy? 4 Myths about Organic Milk
by Lindsey G.
While it is true that organic milk doesn't contain pesticides, antibiotics or growth hormones, there are some dirty little secrets about some organic milk brands that you probably don't know.
Going organic for most is a really good baby step and I commend those who have made it this far in their real food journey. However, as you fall down the proverbial real food rabbit hole here is some further information to understand just how much marketing impacts our views about where our food comes from and how it is processed. Perception is not reality.

The Three Stages of a Revolution
by Dave Hodges
Many believe that America is plunging head first into a civil war with the forces of the New World Order which have hijacked our government. Trust me, nobody reading these words wants live through the times that the globalists have planned for us.
Part one of this series detailed how the economy is collapsing due the failure of the Petrodollar. The resulting instability will provide the pretext to institute a series of false flag attacks which will provide the federal government with a preemptive opportunity to impose one of the most draconian forms of martial law that the world has ever seen. There is a chance that the American people will shed their shackles and finally rise up and that is exactly what the globalists desire. If the globalists can draw us into a civil war and crush the opposition, they can end all pretenses and their full blown tyranny will be fully exposed for all to see and experience firsthand. How close is America to falling into a civil war?

United States Wants to Attract Hackers to Public Sector
by Nicole Perlroth
Foreign hackers have been attacking DHS's computer systems. They have also been busy trying to siphon the nation's wealth and steal valuable trade secrets. And they have begun probing the nation's infrastructure - the power grid, and ...
So she needs her own hackers - 600, the agency estimates. But potential recruits with the right skills have too often been heading for business, and those who do choose government work often go to the National Security Agency, where they work on offensive digital strategies. At Homeland Security, the emphasis is on keeping hackers out, or playing defense.
