Rant about homeschoolers

Note to everybody reading this: I'm homeschooled myself, so I reserve the right to make the following observations:

I know several kids who have been homeschooled their whole lives, and, through no fault of their own, are quite naïve. Just pick up almost any homeschooling magazine these days, such as The Old Schoolhouse Magazine, and you’ll read a plethora of articles written by rather self-righteous moms bragging about how they threw their TVs in the trash and isn’t that fantastic. And of course, the exposés revealing Satan as the cunning originator of rock music. The ultra-legalistic lunatic fringe of homeschooling not only advocates no TV, but also bans jeans and shorts. (Apparently there’s a verse in the Bible somewhere that says those things are sinful, but they’ve never provided me with the reference.) My sister plays basketball with a homeschool sports organization that is, fortunately, NOT real concerned with that stuff...which I think is way awesome. (Got to give them some props: http://www.noahjags.org.) Once and awhile, her team plays against another organization (I won't reveal their name, but here's a hint: their acronym is also the name of someone who cooks) and several of their guys wear pants during games. I always have a good laugh after seeing that...the kind of trouble people will go to to look pious and they end up acting almost like Muslims! I'm just glad my family and the other cool people at NOAH really know the Bible and where the money's at when it comes to that stuff.
