Homeschoolers Lack Regulation—Quick, Call the State!

The Newark Star-Ledger recently published a lengthy article portraying the state’s “unregulated” homeschoolers as wide-eyed fringers, not on the opinions page but as straight-facts reporting. When I emailed the editor to protest, he replied (and later courteously gave me permission to quote): “We made quite clear that this was not an overall evaluation of home schooling, but a piece looking at [Andrew] Schlafly’s operation, in the context of an entirely unregulated field.”

Let’s look at how clear and fair the reporting is.
