I appreciate this article linking to my article about Tucker Carlson speaking at the Great Homeschool Conventions, but why are no homeschool alumni voices actually represented??

One of the most unreal feeling parts of this as someone who grew up in a right wing fundiegelical group is seeing how readily the ‘good’ things I was able to hold onto from my upbringing have been abandoned by so many of the very people I learned them from
I have supported due process rights for immigrants since I was an evangelical child debating immigration policy in homeschool debate leagues.
Due process rights are human rights, not privileges of citizenship. Even conservative kids can understand why that's important.

They were trying to leave the area, not even part of the protest. No amount of passivity can protect you from the violence.
