Really? Demented? Wow..

So, by now almost all of the homeschoolers have heard about The Views Joy Behar dissing homeschooling children by stating “A lot of them are demented when they’re homeschooled.” .

I know that it shouldn’t come as a shock that the liberals on The View would state (much less condone) such language and ignorance concerning Homeschooled children.. except for the fact that Joy was a… ya know.. teacher herself. This is the same lady that said this about Sarah Palin-and I quote-

“We all know that the woman is an airhead.”

Really? All of us? Please do not assume that everyone shares your “views” on these issues, Mrs. Behar. Please do not assume that I am incapable of giving my children the proper “socialization”. Please do assume that my children “learn to be scared of other children”.

That quote there is so far beyond ridiculous.

Your bias generalizations hurt the movement that parents all across the country have worked so hard to build. You know nothing about most homeschooling families, yet you speak as if you are the authority on the subject, flippantly dismissing homeschooling like it is a bad joke. I know that you are a “comedian”, and it was “all in fun”, but really? Demented?

Wow.

Here is the video, starting with Joy stating “I think they should get an education in the White House just the way George Bush did.”

Also notice how Joy also states “I think those kids should be educated in the White House with other children and make a ‘Little House on the Prairie’.” That was the first jab on homeschoolers, and it just goes down hill from there..

But I really shouldn’t be surprised. After all… it is The View.

If you would like to contact The View and state your mind about Joy and her comments today (or any day for that matter) here is ABC.com’s contact page.

I highly recommend all of the homeschoolers (and people who know homeschool families) that were flabbergasted and outraged by her comments today email the network and tell them that this is TOTALLY unacceptable.

I just did, wont you?
