I inherited a couple of fundie relatives, a young couple, who are home
schooling their kids not because they think they can offer them a better

more moderate and liberal. Their words. In other words, they want to
raise isolated automatons.


Wish them luck. It rarely works out that way. Unless you lock them in a
closet, kids tend to find their own way.


I sure hope so. The husband of the couple in question is a fundie
minister. The kids are only allowed to socialize with kids of other
congregation members. Scary stuff, right out of the Taliban playbook, if
there is a Taliban playbook.
