"There is a stark difference between the two of us. I have nothing against someone who homeschools their children, but I believe in our public schools as opposed to someone who calls them socialist and indoctrination centers."

For Teacher Appreciation Week, May 6-10:
Chocolate and Starbucks cards are great, but please consider reaching back in time to a teacher who made a difference in your life. Tell them what you appreciate/d about them specifically, how they helped you and what you’re doing now…
