Ooh funny.

I disagree with that.  I think asylum is appropriate for majority of people wanting to homeschool their children.

I agree, it's a win-win for both.  Lunatics in Germany are cream of the crop in Tennessee.  I bet the average IQ in both places went up after they moved.

You left out the "an".  ;)

Asylum is silly, but not allowing home-schooling is worse.

However, Mart opposes it. Therefore Homeschooling is O-tay.

Hey now.  One may be homeschooled for secular reasons.

Maybe.  But it's not desirable.  The only thing that is desirable is industrial, cookie-cutter-style schooling.

:huh: Why would you want the elite taught in the same manner as the plebs?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

He also left out the "the". But as a Russian, it's to be expected.

Incredibly bad decision; makes a mockery of the meaning of "persecution" and simply invites people to avoid immigration rulesby claiming bogus religious "freedoms."
I agree.  I mean I don't understand how the US could deny anyone assylum if that's the level of persecution.
