The meaning of "Freedom"...


With some authors, I'm never sure where to put their articles - like this one. I have separated my homeschool blog from my politics blog, as the politics part is - more often than not - negative - and a lot of people stay away from politics for that reason, so I thought it best to separate the subjects. Plus, I seem to have a lot to say about both.

The blog Right on the Left Coast: Views from a conservative teacher is about both education and politics - the politics of education, if you will. I suppose the two subjects can't help but be intertwined sometimes since our government is so involved with the schools. I love reading blogs by people who actually have knowledge about what they write. (Unlike yours truly - who has no experience teaching other people's children. I get most of my information on education news from people like this.)

At any rate, I'm posting this on both the politics and homeschooling blogs, because I think it's appropriate. Actually, I'll just post a snippet of Darren's comment on the subject of freedom, and I hope you'll click the link and go to his blog to read the rest.

"Too many people have only the vaguest notion of freedom. We in America have enjoyed its fruits for so long that many seem to have forgotten all the work required to care for the tree."
