Did you know that HSLDA is having a video ad contest? I don’t know what they plan to do with the videos or where they hope to air them (Christian TV networks I presume), but you can vote for your favorite video at HSLDA – and/or in my poll below. :D ☠ 1. Old Time ☠ 2. [...]

Dear Christian Homeschoolers, Please don’t get our homeschool conferences confused with the other organization that recently disinvited Ken Ham to an event after he publicly called into question the faith of another Christian vendor. Granted, the names of the two organizations sound similar (theirs is Great Homeschool Conventions; ours is Great American Homeschool Conferences), but, unlike GH events, ours are “Christ-centered and stand for the literal truth [...]

It’s not often that I agree with evangelical Christians on topics related to religion, but I’m totally onboard with what this young believer from Texas had to tweet last weekend. Every once in a while (but not often enough, apparently), I do check in on Pastor Rick. When I did so this time, I noticed something that piqued [...]
Recognition at long last

PZ Myers at Pharyngula is reporting that Ken Ham (Answers in Genesis) may be appearing on CNN’s Anderson Cooper tonight to spew his Creationist nonsense. PZ says, Ham is asking for prayers. They won’t help him much against Lynn, who is simply an awesome… Huh? No really. He mentioned me by name as an awesome force against [...]

I noticed that my post, “Scientists know more science,” was included in the latest edition of Carnival of Homeschooling. Thank you to the person who submitted it. And, thanks also to Alasandra for including it. For those who missed the original post, it was a brief mention of a recent survey. It seems that the scientists who are most likely to accept anthropogenic global warming are, well, climate scientists. [...]
At a loss for words for Dana
Posted in homeschooling, parenting, tagged loss, parenting on January 1, 2011 | 29 Comments »
Now that my daughter is attending school, I don’t follow homeschooling blogs as much as in the past. Today, however, I decided to glance over posts by homeschoolers on my blogroll and catch up. That’s when I came upon “For a moment, I forget,” by Dana, at RosCommon Acres. For a moment, I forget. For a moment, I fully [...]
Homeschooling food and sex toys

Maybe that’s what our homeschool lacked: more interesting field trips! Not only does Lill know where all the best restaurants are; she’s a brilliant homeschooling mom who knows how to make the most of teachable moments. (Just don’t tell her that I did her daughter’s field trip report for her.) LillHawkins.com: Sex Ed – Coming to a [...]
About me
As an atheist – and former Christian homeschooling parent – I blog (mostly) about the social-political aspects of religious fundamentalism, especially as it impacts the education and socialization of children.
