Do you view home school martyr David Koresh as the standard by which all home school parents should be judged?
Culture Warrior asked:
Do you view now deceased home school leader David Koresh as a martyr for our cause? Is Koresh the “gold-standard” that all other home school parents should be judged by? How common is it for middle-aged parents to marry pre-pubescent girls in their home school group?

Your logic is very skewed. Just because one sicko was a home school proponent doesn’t mean that all homeschoolers are sickos. This is a basic logical fallacy.
I was molested and I went to public school. Does this now mean every public school student will be molested? No. Penny Lady

I did not home school my children. Just because one person did things a certain way had nothing to do with the many others doing this. I would have loved to have home schooled my kids but couldn’t do that. I was not qualified and maybe things have become easier for kids so do work through the internet but I am nothing like Koresh. I wish I could have kept one of my son’s home. He would have benefited from this not only b/c it would have suited his personality but it would have been better for him not to be exposed to what was going on in the school in our area. So I respect those families that chose to home school & don’t want to compare them to anyone else cause they are as unique as all families are unique. I AM RICH

You must be joking. He was hopefully no standard for anyone. I think those poor people were truly
mislead, misinformed about the truth, abused physically, mentally, emotionally and psychologically.
No,there should be NO modeling of that kind of conduct by any mature adult anywhere. It is against the law to engage in those types of marriages with children.
Wake up and read the papers. I hope David is no martyr for any educational cause. harnella
