It's About Time

The NC DNPE finally got around to realizing posting the names and addresses of every homeschooler in NC up on the internet for every psycho out there to see might not be a good thing. In the back of my mind I wondered if that would one day lead some homeschool hating weirdo with an ax to my front door. Hopefully, the weirdos didn't print the list out before it was password protected. Now, I only have to worry about weirdos who happen to be NC homeschoolers. Thanks guys. I really feel safe now.

I do not understand the necessity for putting that list online, passworded or not. Why do other homeschoolers need access to my address? I certainly don't want the religious freaks coming to my door telling me how I am going to hell for letting my daughter wear blue jeans or something just as ridiculous. I don't want to be sought out by bark-eaters either. Nice, normal people would be welcome; but, nice, normal people wouldn't just show up on my doorstep saying "hey, I got your address off the DNPE website and thought I'd drop by."

Even more ridiculous is the report that NCHE asked DNPE to do something three years ago. WHY did they wait until after that nut blew away those Amish kids before responding?

JAN 7 UPDATE: I just checked the DNPE website. The addresses have been removed.
