Wisconsin ...Again a cheap shot at homeschooling? <br /> <br />Wisconsin has one of the best homeschooling laws in the country, largely due to the efforts of parents working together in the Wisconsin Parents Association. For decades, WPA has defended the freedom to homeschool (the choice of a small minority of parents). The latest threat comes from a "homeschooler" legislator who took it upon himself to insert in the budget a policy opening public school sports to participation from homeschoolers, including his kids. WPA OPPOSES homeschoolers taking part in public school sports programs and has fought against it for years. WPA also opposes another policy slipped into the budget, giving state recognition to homeschool diplomas. <br /><br />Please don't assume or imply that homeschoolers are right-wing, Scott Walker supporters. That's offensive (dog-whistle-territory) to me and other parents who chose homeschooling for a variety of valid reasons, AND protested Act 10 at the Capitol, AND worked hard to recall Scott Walker, AND don't want "help” from Scott Walker and this "homeschooler” legislator.<br /><br />Perhaps inadvertently, you legitimize the voice of an isolated homeschooler-legislator (which confirms your stereotype) over the combined voice of hundreds of parents in WPA, the state homeschooling association (which defies your stereotype).<br /><br />More nuance, please!
