    The Home School Legal Defense Association is representing the family in their battle to start a new life in the United States – even as the Obama administration seeks to have the evangelical Christian family deported.

    The family was initially granted asylum, but the Department of Justice objected and demanded the Christian family be deported.

    Why should we educate our children at home when they can be trained by the state?

    I bet my bottom dollar that had a child been gay and that is why they are here, they'd be welcomed with open arms.

    You would be guessing correct.

    I often wished I had been home schooled instead indoctrinated by the state Squire. It took me forty years to realize everything I had been "taught" was a lie.
