    “I do have one question, though ― do you teach feminism? I mean, I believe in equality, but I am not a feminist, and I don’t want to teach it to my daughter.”

    I take the approach I used in Missouri.

    “What do you mean?” I ask her.

    “Well, do you teach that women are better than men?”

    “No, I teach all genders are equal and should be treated as such.”

    She buys three kits.

    Jesus wept.

      This is the problem with the kind of disinformation the right wing media pushes. If you describe something in as objective truthful a way as possible, suddenly none of this shit is controversial.

      I’ve seen people totally on board with a description of public health turn around and just rail against how Obama care is Communist.

      So much of this just depends entirely on ignorance. Kinda why these people are homeschooling in the first place.
