Schooling the Legislature

tnflag.jpgPublic outcry against his legislative attack on home-schoolers has forced a Memphis Democrat legislator to back off a bit. Public protest can stop legislative tyranny in its tracks. Those home-schooled children who went down to Legislative Plaza yesterday to protest learned more yesterday about politics, government and democracy yesterday than children in public school learn all year. I daresay the Memphis Democrat who wants to chip away at home-schooling rights in Tennessee got a bit of an education too.

I don't agree with the state meddling either but I think they should have to pass the TCAP to be considered a high school graduate. I'm ignorant of what the requirements are though so there may already be controls in place.

I remember reading a biography in which it was said that to be considered an eductated person at that time, one had to be able to read and articulate one's thoughts in both Hebrew and Greek. Passing TCAP is not necessarily an indication of the quality or appropriateness of an individual's education.
