I'm not exactly sure of all the specifics or what you're referring to, elcollins, but I don't necessarily think that everyone involved with HSLDA speaks for the whole of the organization in their writings and speaking on their own outside the context of that organization. I expect there are people within the organization who hold very different views from each other on many topics, just as our local homeschool group allows people from very different perspectives to hold membership and be involved in helping put on events.

I agree. ON THE OTHER HAND if you are the visiable, recognizable (well-paid) head of an organization and you preach, teach, write things, people will associate it with the organization and it's credibility will suffer accordingly. I am not a member of HSLD for exactly that reason - they do good thing for homeschooling, but some of it's leadership brings criticism and reproach from within and outside of the Christian community.
