Here we go….
I support EVERYONES right to free thought and that includes the right to not believe in a god.

When I read stories like this is makes me fume. How would christians react if humanists/atheists demanded books with Christian dogma where pulled? From my understanding the book, The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman was pulled because of authors belief’s and not the actually content of the book.

Here is a well thought out comment by believer:

I have heard this sentimaent from other Chirtiand and applaud their reasoning. Faith is nor real unless you are drawn toward it - not slammed into it by others.

and Reduces Impact of Socio-Economic Factors

TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwire - Oct. 4, 2007) - Home schooling appears to improve the academic performance of children from families with low levels of education, according to a report on home schooling released today by independent research organization The Fraser Institute.

"The evidence is particularly interesting for students who traditionally fall through the cracks in the public system," said Claudia Hepburn, co-author of Home Schooling: From the Extreme to the Mainstream, 2nd edition and Director of Education Policy with The Fraser Institute.

The peer-reviewed report, co-written with Patrick Basham and John Merrifield, builds on a 2001 study with new research and data. It examines the educational phenomenon of home schooling in Canada and the United States, its regulation, history, growth, and the characteristics of practitioners, before reviewing the findings on the academic and social effects of home schooling.
