Wow... You need to get a more diverse view of reality yourself or you are in real danger of becoming a serious bigot... That home school function of the certified Christian school I taught at has state champion class extracurricular sports in which home schooled kids participate. Students that are part of the home schooling function (limited classes on campus) are eligible for CIF sports participation. Right now there are home school students who are on class trips with their corresponding class year in France and Costa Rica. About 50 % of the students are Hispanic at this school with a wide mix to make up the balance. As a matter of fact affiliated home school kids are welcome to participate in all of the extracurricular and social activities the school offers. Just because you hate Christians, and I defend your right to hate whomever you wish, doesn't make what you think actually true... rb (oh brother!) w -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
