It's true that homeschooling in general includes more contact hours at home, but it doesn't mean that learning is solely done at home. In fact, a big part of homeschooling is experience-based (experiential) learning outside the usual four corners of traditional classrooms. The whole world can literally become the student's educational oyster.

This white thing was no joke. It was serious business. A simple equation was evident: brown equals misery = white equals happiness.

We felt it was high-time to try out a non-commercial meetup venue the next time around, and what better place could there be to house a bunch of heathens for some sweet, sweet sacrilege than a church?

There are far more reasonable, dignified, and downright compelling ways to promote what I think is a solid advocacy, so why can't PETA just go down that direction and avoid pissing people off?
