If you have a spare mo, go tell the editor of homeschool.com why you wouldn't sub to The Old Schoolhouse magazine.
This is what I said:
To the Editor
Since Gina Suarez is a vocal supporter of Michael & Debbie Pearl, who encourage their followers to beat young children with plumbing supplies in order to instil discipline, I support the homeschoolers' boycott of everything associated with TOS and the Pearls.
Yours,
HT: HE & OS
It's the editor of homeschool.com not TOS. Homeschool.com spammed me with an ad for TOS.
ReplyDeleteFeel free to delete this comment. I just wanted to get the clarifying info to you.
That's a lesson in not doing anything when distracted!! Thanks None!
ReplyDeleteIs this still going on? It really beggars belief!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Dottyspots. Quite extraordinary. I gather the issue is still current in the US...it makes me almost grateful that we have the law limiting unreasonable chastisement, though I personally think it quite ridiculous that touching an adult without their consent can constitute assault, whereas hitting a child as long as you don't leave a mark doesn't!
ReplyDeleteStill can't get my head round it!!
