Today in the Star Ledger in an article titled "Former governor may sue Corzine over slashed arts funding" Former Republican Gov. Tom Kean is "outraged" that governor Corzine has made a proposal to cut cultural funds to below the minimums outlined by the law and in fact is considering filing his own lawsuit against the governor over the issue. Is is just me or shouldn't it be the Republican who wants to cut spending, not the Democrat? This is just another example of how the Republican Party has become a big spender. How can we vote for Republicans expecting them to cut down on big government when a miracle occurs and a big spender Democrat like Corzine recommends cutting funding, and the Republican threatens to sue? At this point in American history the only vote you can make to try and cut down on big government is a vote for the Libertarian Party. Voting for the Republicans or Democrats is just a wasted vote.

German Homeschoolers Seek Asylum In US
A German family has fled to the US and is seeking political asylum so that they can home school their kids. In Germany, where sending your children to public schools is mandatory, they were being persecuted by the local law enforcement and government officials for not sending their children to school. The parents are evangelical Christians whose values conflict with much of what they teach at the public schools.
The story can be found here.
This is evidence of the fact that homeschooling is a right which we must fight for and protect. We don't want to end up like the Romeikes (the German family) and have the police knock down our doors in to take away our kids just because we are trying to provide them with a good education. Fortunately in NJ we are allowed to home school our children which should be an option that many parents may want to investigate if they live in an Abbott District. But our neighbor, NY, is not so lucky.
We must keep a vigilant eye on our local legislature that in their zeal to "reform" the education system in NJ that they don't tread on our right to educate our children in the best way we see fit.
