Those of us who homeschool are entitled to a spot on the public school team. :)

We recently moved to Maine, and the rules are very accommodating to allow homeschoolers to participate in various traditional school programs (like, say, attending a science class, or playing football). Our kids are not yet of the age or inclination to join in on such activities, but I’ve heard good things about it. By no means it is a disaster, although I’m sure it can get tricky. Perhaps someday we’ll find out.

It’s a response to New Jersey’s recent vote to allow gay marriage:

“Today, the Legislature has brought us to the promised land,” said Steven Goldstein, chairman of the gay rights group Garden State Equality. “We know the governor won’t let us enter, but we finally behold the view of our dreams and we will never turn back.”

Did he use this language ignorantly or intentionally?

Unless things have changed dramatically for the better, I doubt Public-school sports are going be a helpful environment for home-schooled kids of Christian parents. And I doubt the Public-schoolers are going to welcome homeschoolers into their teams (at the expense of their pals) with open arms – some rare Tebow exceptions maybe. I know what would have happened to them in my school – but I can’t describe it here without setting off your Internet filter alarms!

Thanks for your ministry
