This is a story about an
international couple raising and home educating three
young boys on a small island in Japan, half living in
buses, engaged in organic, self-sufficient farming in
the middle of a mountain forest while dealing with
climate, cultural, and personal challenges. These pages
are about pretty much anything and everything all guided
by our family motto, Taking Chances, Making Changes,
Being Happy. Thank you very much for joining us on our
ongoing crazy adventure.

 Department
of Indoctrination
The new Secretary of the Department of
Education Indoctrination is
Betsy DeVos. She will now hold a position which will affect
public schools and the education of our children.
Devos is a proponent of voucher programs which will allow
private schools to use public dollars to teach church
doctrine that is at odds with public policy. For example,
that women must be submissive to men, that homosexuality is
evil, that birth control is a sin, and that creationism is
scientifically sound. |
 Voucher
schools are private schools that have applied for a
state-funded program that pays tuition for some or all of
its student body. Because they are defined as “private,”
voucher schools operate by separate rules, with minimal
public oversight or transparency. They can sidestep basic
constitutional protections such as freedom of speech. They
do not have to provide the same level of second-language or
special-education services. They can suspend or expel
students without legal due process. They can ignore the
state’s requirements for open meetings and records. They can
disregard state law prohibiting discrimination against
students on the grounds of sex, pregnancy, sexual
orientation, or marital or parental status. (Source: LA

The best way to force change is to
pull your kids out of school. If you have the
means....free time and money....there is no better time to
become a home education family than now. When kids stay out
of school the schools lose funding, and nothing will send a
louder message to the Department of Education that Betsy
DeVos is the wrong choice, than hitting them in the
pocketbook.
The following are links to the Department of Education and
Betsy DeVos Twitter accounts. Keep a close watch on DOE
policy changes, and DeVos tweets. Change is coming. |

Meet the current head of the
Department of Indoctrination
In the guise of governmental noninterference in religious
matters, the voucher program she proposed, would have
allowed private schools to use public dollars to proselytize
and teach church doctrine that is at odds with public policy
— for instance, that women must be submissive to men, that
homosexuality is evil, that birth control is a sin, and that
creationism is scientifically sound. Great for America that
Trump is out as president but incredibly happy to see this
woman is going out with him. She was one of the most
dangerous people in his administration, after all, she was
in the position to control the education of America's kids. |
