My visit to a local homeschooling group will not be statistically significant. That is why I rely on broader surveys to help me make my conclusions. I am simply stating the broader conclusion that the homeschooling movement in the US is motivated by the christian right.

You have stated on this forum that you support the right of governments to restrict marriage precluding a HIV test. > Governments everywhere monitor and track their > citizens.

The tension between one's security and excessive government control and intrusiveness is obvious. > It has always been okay for governments to dictate > certain moral codes, > that is a part of government's job.

The overbearing reach of the Taliban moral police in Afghanistan or of the mullas in Iran is not something I would be willing to live under. Likewise, I would not tolerate a christian equvalent of the above. Based on your support for christian based home schooling and your support for strict government controls on marriage, I get the impression that you support some form of a theocratic role for government.
