New Duggar Doc Uses Family Drama To Vilify Christians (thefederalist.com)

The Federalist


. . ."Innocent homeschooled children getting involved in politics pales in comparison to George Soros planting pro-crime district attorneys in American cities, but this documentary isn’t interested in real political plots and damaging infiltrations. It’s just interested in smearing any parents who agree with the Bible and want to educate their own kids, by connecting them to fringe movements with serious problems.

"This has everything to do with ideology, not genuine concern for the well-being of children. That’s why the docuseries complains about Christian institutions of higher learning, specifically Patrick Henry College. Many of its conservative graduates have become involved in American government. It’s also why “Shiny Happy People” is concerned about Christian homeschooling “debate clubs,” where kids learn to “take on any liberal or atheist argument or statement and debunk it.” 

"When the documentarians accuse homeschooling of being a political move on the part of parents, they’re right. Homeschooling is a reaction to the left’s infiltration and politicization of public schools. Homeschooled children should be feared by the left because they were not sent to neo-Marxist reeducation camps for eight hours a day every day of their childhood. This is the reason the creators of “Shiny Happy People” suggested the government should start regulating homeschooling with “universal standards” in an interview about the documentary.". .

My only regret is that so many home-school families hold themselves separate from the Church, the Body of Christ, not sharing their spiritual gifts or discipling young believers in Christ as Scripture calls us to do. TD.
