Policy and Analysis
Our Mission
The Patriot Post's mission is to advocate for Essential Liberty, the restoration of constitutional limits on government and the judiciary, and to promote free enterprise, national defense and traditional American values. Our objective is to provide Patriots across our nation with a touchstone of First Principles through brief, informative and entertaining analyses of relevant news, policy and opinion from reputable research, advocacy and media organizations, so they may better support and defend those Principles, and enlist others to join our ranks." —Mark Alexander, Publisher
The Patriot Post is not sustained by any political, special interest or parent organization, and we accept no advertising. Our mission and operations are funded entirely by the voluntary financial support of Patriots like you!
We also home school our two children and are loving it! Our 10-year-old daughter recently took her first standard test and excelled in just about every subject. Apart from the clear academic benefits, we have the opportunity to instill our morals and values, as well as encourage close relationships with each other. We get to take vacations and field trips when other children are still in school.
One comment I have for India in GA: the online home school curricula are simply "school at home." In exchange for giving parents some monetary benefits (e.g., a "free" computer, internet service, and cash for curriculum), they have all the government regulations and very little freedom.
I would encourage those who are considering online "home school" programs to consider carefully that these programs are merely extensions of the government. After you become dependent on the freebies, the government takes them away and you are stuck teaching the things that the public schools are teaching, with all of the oversight that comes with accepting public funds.
