Keep up the wonderful work and may your children thrive…

…but as I have said elsewhere and will keep saying because it seems to be central to the debate…

Beware Home Educators – you are up against the centralising instincts of the socialists – socialists have a complete disregard for liberty and individual freedom because it threatens the organs of state including state organised education (through which they can pump their socialist propaganda).

Education otherwise is the only form of education that recognises the value of the individual over the group. It recognises that society is not the same as THE STATE and it recognises that society is a product of individual free choice not a separate imposed order.

That, sadly for home educators, is completely at odds with the aims and ambitions of socialists in general and this Labour government in particular, which thinks it has a god-given right to meddle in every aspect of our personal life for the sake of “the greater good” and “social order”.

Sadly for this country, socialism is the fastest route to the totalitarianism of national-socialism yet invented (with half our productive economic capacity nationalised in all but name we are half way there already).

Blessings for freedom and education otherwise,

Father Ignatius Brown

Hopefully he won’t have time to implement many of these interfering proposals, but whatever he does do remember why you started home educating in the first place. The options are never explained, the alternative is always hidden, but there are alternatives.

P.S. I once met Mr Balls ~ odious, unctious and patronising.
