It's not just a matter of belief, it's very much a matter of getting the most
basic of facts somewhat close to straight.

Just to tie the two threads, homeschooling and science fiction, together,
carefully read the following two randomly selected web pages. They're
representative of a hundred more such pages, each of which provides
"resources" for the nascent home schooling community:

If the students who go through the curicula above wind up majoring in
kinesiology in college, then nothing's been lost. They'd have no chance at a
modern, productive job under any circumstance. But there's got to be at least
a few bright kids in the group who will be so ill-prepared for life, filled
with so much misinformation and superstition, that they will be forever
denied an opportunity to make a contribution to either their society or
humanity at large.
