A Homeschool Protest

On Thursday, June 28th, I left the decision to R. He could have Nagy Papa pick him up from golf camp, then spend a few hours with him, or he could skip golf camp and join E and I at Connecticut's Capitol to protest abuses toward homeschoolers. "Let's see. One day of camp, vs years of homeschooling." My kid rocks.

We carpooled with some friends and had a great day learning all about fighting for our rights. It was very very cool to see how many people I knew there, and I am definitely proud of the fact that I am in with the people who show up.

I'm not going to get too deeply into the issue. Here are links to fill you in if you care to read further. They are all in order so you can get the full story.
