Homeschooling Held Hostage, Heidi St John
“Most of us took our children out of public school in search of something more, only to be hijacked by the world’s system—right there on the couches in our living rooms. We’re putting our kids into hyper-academic “homeschooling” programs and we’re allowing the pressure of the “what ifs” to determine what we teach our children. Yes.

No Babies, Please, We’re Europeans, The American Conservative
“We are very close to the threshold of non-renewal where the people dying are not replaced by new-borns. That means we are a dying country…We need a wake-up call and a real change of culture to turn the trend around in the coming years…The future belongs to the fertile.

Thank you so much Kelly! These links are amazing (even the links in the links!) I’m going to spend more time really going through them. Good thoughts to ponder and maybe use to change our lives.
You’re welcome, Rebecca. The power of words to change lives is very real, huh?
