"Our group is 180 families," says NYCHEA president Sono Kuwayama, an East Village artist who home-schools three. "We do a lot of things with the group: soccer, gymnastics, field trips, things like that."
Whether religious or secular, home-schooling is undoubtedly countercultural. But Kuwayama thinks it's an advantage to help kids "avoid that herd mentality" - something their parents have to face constantly from uninformed critics. |

I hope the House listens with a jaundiced ear. The "Violence Policy Center" (VPC) is just about the most anti-gun organization out there. They've said themselves that nothing less than a complete gun ban is what they are after. How can anyone take what they say as unbiased "fact"? |

School board members did not publicly respond to McDaniel’s request. |

Six years ago, [Virginia] passed a measure making it easier for residents to obtain permits to carry concealed weapons. ... Crime decreased. Violent offenses across the state fell to 316 per 100,000 residents in 1998 - the lowest rate in 10 years. In Richmond, the homicide rate declined 42% from 1995 (the year after the city set a new record for murder), to the lowest level in 20 years. Overall crime in the state declined 24% from 1991, to the lowest level since 1975. by A. BARTON HINKLE |

"The massive campaign of indoctrination and intimidation has been largely successful. The voices of dissent are silent. If you say something liberals do not like, you are guilty of hate speech. People live in dread that liberal inquisitors will hound them into submission, and ruin their reputations and careers if they utter a forbidden word or express an ideologically incorrect idea." -Linda Bowles |

"...the federal courts have repeatedly upheld the right of citizens to associate freely for the purpose of combining their resources to express their political beliefs in a timely manner. Repeatedly, the courts have rejected efforts to regulate these issue-advocacy rights protected by the First Amendment. There is no reason to believe that the Supreme Court will treat the free-speech-quashing instruments of McCain-Feingold any differently." -Editorial, The Washington Times |

"We believe that efforts to reduce the deaths and injuries caused by handguns should be examined from a perspective based in science and rooted in the established principles of public health policy. Those principles and that perspective have been effectively applied to other epidemics and the lessons we have learned are clear."
~~~~~
The epidemic is doctors like these who'd rather see their patients dead than able to defend themselves. |

"Last month, the Daily News ran a story about how some people with gun permits do crazy and dangerous things. In the days after the Feb. 13 article, the number of people applying for permits jumped sharply."
~~~~~
Wonder why? If people believe the news, they'd believe that they'd better get a permit quick, to protect themselves from all those "crazy gun owners" out there. |
