In summary, the PRC folks who (evidently) have their knickers in a bunch over this need to get a life. |
This is a very good point. He might even offer to help with a fundraiser for the school, or some other kind of olive branch for the people who have their shorts in a knot, without compromising his parental principles over his choice to home school.
