	The Quiverfull movement(see: The Duggars) Mar 18, 2009
A fundamentalist sect which deems God is the ultimate birth controller and the Husband is the Ultimate authority figure in the home. The wife's role is to be submissive to the husband and have as many babies as God sees fit. It (the ideology) is seen as a backlash to feminism.The children are always homeschooled and if the couple are unable to have children they are to adopt. The purpose is to create "God's Warriors." This should sound familiar to those who have heard of the Leibensborn Homes (And I expect to get a lot of hate mail for this.) -- Edited by alswhore at 03/18/2009 9:01 AM PDT

	The only thing you're lacking is that homeschooled children are setting education back 100 years. Those wonderful test scores touted by home school parents in States such as Texas are the tests supplied by the companies that package and sell the home school programs. Texas does not have a checks and balance system, once a child is removed from school not even Child Protective Services can question homeschooling. To remove a child form school no matter what the age, the parent or guardian simply goes to the school and signs them out. No proof necessary as to what education will be provided for that child. I am a CASA (Child Appointed Special Advocate) and I have seen children taken out of school by their parents and made to set home because they were problem kids at school and the parents didn?t want to pay the fines. We have children in Texas that have sat at home with only a 6 grade education getting ready to age out of the system. Only when a child wants their high school diploma and does the state step in and insist they pass a State of Texas Certified Test that is given to all high school seniors. Not until that time will the child know if they got a good or bad education. Most of the time they do NOT! You can take a child out of the system; drop them out of society in Texas and several other states with these liberal Evangelical laws. Sadly it?s going to take a death of a child from some horrific case that makes national news for these laws to change.
