Universities get a clue

From the Associated Press...

The U.S. Department of Education reports that 1.1 million, or 2.2 percent of all students in the nation, are homeschooled.

Some private colleges have eagerly recruited those students for years and tailored application processes to include them. Homeschoolers still face challenges when applying to many public universities, but their chances of being considered are improving.

In 2000, 52 percent of all colleges in the country had a formal evaluation policy for applications from homeschoolers, said David Hawkins, director of public policy for the National Association for College Admission Counseling.

Four years later, the number jumped to 83 percent. During that time, 45 percent of colleges reported receiving more applications from homeschoolers, he said.

Homeschoolers are predominantly Conservative Christians, and this was a way for Liberal Acedemia to attempt to filter out those students least likely to incorporate the Socialist indoctrination that has become the standard fare for Universities. But ultimately the anti-Christian bigotry has become to blatant, and the need for serious student too great.

Personally, though, I can't understand why anyone would want to go to many of these schools.
