Merged Nazi twins escape upbringing (Prussian Blue) / renounce white supremacy

[goodm0urning]

It is possible that they never really believed it in the first place, but accepted what they were told on authority.

I was raised Catholic. I stopped going to church at 17 (after some bitter arguments with my folks) and haven't been back since except for weddings and funerals. Looking back has stunned me in two ways:

1. Even as a small child, I never really put much stock in the reality of invisible deities or the fantastical histories of the Bible. I did not live my life under the assumption that these things were actually true.

2. Nevertheless, I feared the consequences of not believing it. If you want to believe something enough, you can at the very least make yourself forget that you don't believe it. The illusion holds until you're no longer fully immersed in it.

Not that I'm likening a conventional religious upbringing to neo-Nazi indoctrination. Mainly because that would be just too cute.

Hard to undo years of learning, Alt+F4 - they are doing as well as could be hoped.

THIS is why "home schooling" ought to be banned.

I've always been against home schooling too.

Then recently I found out that my brother and his wife are planning to home school their kids. I still don't like the idea, but in their case I'm not too worried about it, although I still don't really get it. They are both devout Christians, which I never got either. He works for Google, she has a PhD from Cornell and taught at a public school for a few years before she became a mother.

No.

Especially given the state of public schools, at least these girls can read and question their beliefs.

Anyone capable of competently homeschooling their children though should also be capable of ensuring that they learn what they need to learn at school by getting involved in their kids' education.

I get the strong impression that homeschooling is mostly to prevent exposure to ideas that the parents don't want kids to hear (or hear unfiltered). Like evolution or the possibility that the Bible might be a fairy tale.

Twins. One of those things on my bucket list I may never have...

on edit: will never have.

Been there. Done that. Was a lot of fun.

Everybody thinks they can teach.

Home schooling is like home dentistry.

I applaud them for expanding their social horizons and starting to understand what was being pushed on them. The mother thinks it's just a passing phase and that they'll eventually come back to the racist mindset, but seeing as how they are becoming more "Worldly", I doubt it.

As has been previously mentioned above, it will take some time to complete wash the racism away, but this is a start.

No, it's not.

btw, the few people I know who are home schooling thier kids are those living in Chicago and want their kids to actually read and write and get into college some day, and not become part of the 50% or so who fail to graduate from Chicago high schools or even those who do graduate but are years behind thier suburban/downstate counterparts. None are religious nuts.

Frankly, you're nuts if you think sending your kid to a Chicago Public School is a good idea, unless you're one of the lucky few who literally win a lottery to send the kid to one of the few good public schols here.

No, it's not.

Frankly, you're nuts if you think sending your kid to a Chicago Public School(s) is a good idea, unless you're one of the lucky few who literally win a lottery to send the kid to one of the few good public schols (schools) here.

F. See me after class.

Twins. Cute pagans, early 20s. In a tent in the Western NY hills.

Care to comment on the post, or are you the grammar police now?

Would you send your kid to a Chicago Public School?

Is your point that WildCat is a product of homeschooling? Odds are, he/she is a product of public schools, since most people are. WildCat, which is it?

Is it your point that people educated in public schools never start sentences with conjunctions?

Or is it your point that doing so makes WildCat incapable of teaching? Because if so, I'd like to show you the correspondence I get from my kids' teachers.

OK, so when you said "the state of the public schools", you were talking about Chicago public schools, right? It would have made your post clearer if you had specified.

I fear this will have a negative impact on their records sales.

I think The Boys From Brazil was just an insidious plan for a full on 2 man orgy.

Yes, I went to public schools.

Woah there, I don't have kids and don't want any!

But my point is that everyone I know who has kids and they live in the city either moves to the suburbs just prior to the kids entering school, or in a very few cases stay in the city and home school. Home schooling certainly isn't for everyone, it helps if you're self-employed and can set your own schedule and work from home.

And I don't thik they'll home school through high school, just until middle school. Then it's either move to the suburbs or private school.

I can't get used to the idea of Neo-Nazis listening to a little girl duet in the first place.

"But Mr. Johnson, we don't want to be bad anymore!"

"Oh, there there. You don't have to be bad anymore. You just need to work out those bad feelings. That's it, rub each other's shoulders. Don't be bashful..."



Hey! This rehabilitation and forgiveness is nicer than zero tolerance!

What, you think they eat babies and sleep upside down in the wardrobe during the day?

The scary thing about extremists has always been how very normal and human they usually are in every other aspect of their lives.
