Entrepreneurism as an alternative to the ravages of secular culture

WorldNetDaily: Homeschool entrepreneurism catches fire:

With homeschooled children in the U.S. now numbering in the millions, most of them being raised in a Christian worldview, what happens when all these students reach their teen years?Many go to college – despite the fact that higher education is increasingly steeped in leftist indoctrination and sexual obsession – toughing it out in an unfriendly environment in hopes of becoming prepared for the adult world of work and career. Some try to avoid the ravages of secular culture by attending a Christian college.

Will someone please tell me what the intro paragraphs have to do with teaching entrepeneurism? The rest of the article doesn’t even quote Rhea Perry as this being an acceptable alternative to the secular world. Probably has something to do with using ebay as an introduction to business. Or maybe she only gives her conferences only to certified Christians, but the article doesn’t say that either.

NEA: 2006 Annual Meeting, RA Action Online:

B-73. Home Schooling Adopted Preliminary Report Amend by addition on page 32, line 22, “When home schooling occurs, students enrolled must meet all state curricular requirements, including the taking and passing of assessments to ensure adequate academic progress.”

And if they don’t, they’ll be sent to schools that guarantee they’ll pass?

NEA: 2006 Annual Meeting, RA Action Online:

I-24. Sexual Assault Amendment Referred to Resolutions Committee Preliminary Report Amend by addition on page 76, line 12, “To protect the rights of all students, the Association believes that illegal sexual contact between adults and minors is unacceptable.”

You mean there are illegal situations that you think are acceptable?
