| Message | Most parents are unequipped to teach their children or anyone for that matter. This law would damn those kids to ignorance. |

| Message | We wouldn't say 'most' parents are unequipped, but enough parents are unequipped that we agree with the KPP's position. |

| Message | So you're saying most parents have degrees in teaching and the same or comparable amount of training in educating children as schoolteachers? I think not. |

| Message | What we know is the most home schooled students do as well in college and future careers as those who aren't. So in most cases, the parents are doing all right. However, a large enough minority do not do the job well enough that we agree with you in opposing this bill. |
