It Amazes Me

The concept of that-doesn't-affect-me apathy confounds me. Why would a person be willing to give up his rights just because he happens to be making the same choice as the offender? It's okay for school boards to illegally harrass parents, as long as they aren't illegally harrassing public school parents? People are fine with local governments telling them "you have the right to choose the option we want you to"? That's a right? WTF? It just goes to prove once more that the vast majority of people are STOOPUD.

I've always hated that attitude, too. I'm curious as to what inspired this rant?

It was inspired by issue of the DOE instructing school boards to file false reports with DCF against parents who withdraw their kids from public school. Only the homeschoolers want to speak out against it. Yet, most of us have never used public schools. We still support parents' educational rights. The people who it will affect the most think it's a homeschooling problem and can't be bothered.
