And in This Week’s Other Shocking Story

As a homeschooling father, this paragraph from Cal Thomas’s column today on the Amish killings resonated with me:

People who educate their children at home are likely to think they made the right decision in the face of tragedies like this one. Not even a seemingly safe Amish school can guarantee a child’s protection from outside threats. Perhaps in addition to exploring ways to make schools safer, the Bush administration’s summit on school violence might also recommend ways to make it easier for parents to educate their children at home. Individual states might join in by giving tax credits for home school parents, since children educated at home do not cost taxpayers money in public schools.
