I'm A Patsy - Gotta Problem With That?

Tebow, Tebow,Tebow - - is anyone else sick of hearing about him?

There is an article in the last "Time" magazine about the "Tebow" law. Some states have it whereby home schooled kids can be taught at home but take part in their public school athletics - mainly football or basketball I imagine. I think some schools are even making it possible for home schoolers to take chemistry, band, and other classes that aren't conducive to home schooling. So these home schoolers have the best of two worlds - they have some time at public school and the rest at home. The main reason for home schooling is to teach kids about the Christian way. It's all about religion.

Tim was home schooled, but when it came time for football, his mother and he moved to a county where the mom liked the coach. Tim apparently did quite well there as he's not doing too badly now.  Apparently his mother wasn't qualified to teach him the ins and outs of football.

The whole thing makes me very upset . . . or I really should say pissed off. Who qualifies people to be teachers in their homes? And why are those kids allowed to take part in anything in a public school since their parents have made it quite clear public schools aren't good enough for them. With the Tebow law in effect, will there be more people kneeling and praying on the streets, sidewalks and lawns that we'll be confronted with whenever we go out? And why was Tim allowed to  kneel and pray on the football field when other players aren't allowed to do their dances or whatever. He was bringing his religion to millions of people which I think was against some law or should be.

I'll bet Tim is a little embarrassed at all the publicity, but then again, maybe that's the way he is. I think public schools need a lot of help, but there isn't the money available now. I don't agree with the Tebow law and think more time and money should be spent on public schools, not some kids from "religious" homes who think they are better than others and just want a way into a scholarship to some big-time schools. That's what I think!
