Do any of you blog on the homeschool blogger? Some homeschoolers are boycotting them because they have banner ads for the The Old Schoolhouse Magazine (which runs full page ads for the Pearl's lecture series and books contained within), the Pearl's advocate "training" children by beating them with plumbing supplies because they're cheap and won't leave bruises. (HomeschoolBlogger.com and The Old Schoolhouse Magazine are both interlinked in their ownership! Gina Suarez.)
Here's a mothering.com discussion about it: www.mothering.com
A bit about the owner of homeschoolblogger defending the Pearls:
In an article published today about a child abuse case in NC, Gina Suarez, publisher of Homeschoolblogger.com, is quoted defending the use of plumbing supply lines to beat your child. "[The Pearls] are talking about something that would fit in a purse," Suarez said. "The only way you can kill a child with that is by shoving it down his throat." www.newsobserver.com
Here's an article where the Pearls (the dad on this page) tell women to stay with husbands even if they beat them, beat the kids, or molest the kids. If he won't stop molesting the kids you can have him arrested and testify against him but you should be waiting "with open arms" for him when he gets out. UGH. www.nogreaterjoy.org
