BTW, this blogger also refers to Dana as anti-Christian. That should tell you all you need to know about how much she pays attention to what she is doing.

My comment is reproduced below. This is from memory, it might not be word for word, but it’s damn close.

The boycott thing was well over one year ago. Maybe in your next post you can break the news that homeschooling is legal in all 50 states? BTW, plenty of Christian homeschoolers were on board with the boycott. The Pearls advocate the purchase of plumbing equipment for the singular purpose of hitting your child. When you hit an adult it’s assault. When you hit a child it’s child abuse.

I’m not sure how that can be taken as nasty and personal. A statement of fact with some snark. Pretty much SOP for the web. But hey, why face the facts when you can call people names instead. How very Christian of her.

WWJD indeed.

Even funnier, her blog must auto respond to comments, because I got this.

I just wanted to thank you for your recent comment posted at http://heartofwisdom.com/blog/homeschool/homeschoolers-call-for-boycott/.

I appreciate you taking the time to leave a message. It encourages me and brightens my day.

I hope you return and gain encouragement from my blog. If there is any thing special you would like to see on my blog let me know. I blog for you and aim to please.

Thanks again.

Blessings to you and yours,

Robin

Update: Heart of Wisdom is showing no wisdom at all. She is erasing any comment that does not support her position, and she edited her post to remove the reference to Dana as anti-Christian and instead linked here, identifying this as an anti-Christian tirade. Of course, it’s no such thing. It’s an anti hypocritical two face lier tirade.

Read the essay and ask yourself this. Does Michael Pearl sound more like Billy Graham, or Jim Jones?

By Pearl’s math, one-sixth of the nation’s estimated 3 million home-schooling families use his training methods.

What kind of math is he using? There probably aren’t even 3 million home educated kids, let alone 3 million families. In fact, I’ve never seen a responsible estimate for HEK’s that exceeds 2 million. 3 million families would suggest 6-9 million kids. He is either lying, or has no idea what goes on in his own business.

Pearl is wary of strangers and doesn’t care for reporters. He avoids situations in which he will be censored. He declined a sit-down interview with The News & Observer after the paper refused to sign a contract promising to post the unedited interview on its Web site.

That’s a shame. I’m sure the unedited interview would have been very enlightening.

Way to go Brits!

Poppycock!

If you choose to blog at Redstate.com it’s because you want to be part of the Republican club. If you choose to blog at DailyKos it’s because you want to be part of the I hate Republicans club. If you blog at Slashdot it’s to be associated with the geek crowd. And when you blog at HSB you willingly associate with the It’s OK to hit your child with plumbing supplies club.

When you blog there you are part of that club, whether you like it or not. It’s the whole point of a niche blog community. The HSB club leader is on record as enthusiastically supporting The Pearls and TTUAC. You can’t just wish that association away.

But remember, it doesn’t bruise, so it’s not child abuse.
