The Joshua Generation-

homeschooled kids raised to be the shock troops in a new generation. An article detailing the Homeschooling movement with its tangled roots in the religious unholy trinity of Dobson, Falwell, and Robertson and whose founding father , R.J. Rushdoony, wanted America to become an Old Testament theocracy. This guy is a work of art- founder of the Radical Theology of Christian Reconstruction - he advocated slavery, stoning, and overthrow of the government by bleeding states and communities dry with homeschooling. The article focus is on those children who as adults face problems trying to sever the harm done to them by homeschooling.
Would be interesting to find the correlation between those homeschooled children who as adults became Tea Party leaders.
