    WDIT???? STAY AWAY!!! It sounds good, and it's free for kiddos through 5th grade, but I think it's another way of indoctrinating the kiddos.. He's of course going to teach subjects like history based on his own opinions... And he is a polictican.. :)
    Just my two cents worth..

    I think I'd trust Ron Paul far beyond what I'd trust any other politician. He's also a strong proponent of homeschooling.

    On one hand, I appreciate the free resource. Especially for those who might be swayed to homeschooling if financial concerns were met in a simple way. I'd rather see a parent use this than the "free" resources that come from PS. Also, every single curriculum presents *some* sort of bias. Which means that they *all* indoctrinate to some degree.

    On the other hand, I'm not really in favor of using a single-source, all-in-one curriculum for this very reason. It's also VERY expensive once you hit 6th grade.

    I agree with Amie. There is biased in everything we use to teach our kids. I like to have it as an option to pull from. I think there is also a telling way to learn more about him as a person. :)

    WDIT? Those who can DO, those who can't TEACH. LOL :) Just kidding of course. It was literally the first thing that came to mind when I read it. 3 Time Presidential "contender", etc. LOL :)

    Anyway.....I'd have to really look at it before I'd decide whether it's useful or not. Just like any other free resource.

    Interesting, though.
