Homeschooling

Apologies if I missed something. There was a lot of vandalism and the server was very slow.

I have to admit that I raised my eyebrows at Taliban member John Walker Lindh. If he and Al-Qaeda member Adam Yahiye Gadahn are homeschooled Christians, that's very interesting, but I think you'd better cite a source if you put them back in because "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."

Franklin D. Roosevelt is just plain wrong, he attended Groton.

I'm going to put back Charles Fletcher Lummis and Christopher Paolini on your say-so, but it would be nice to have sources there, too. Dpbsmith 18:14, 23 February 2007 (EST)

I think the addition of the Taliban member was by a vandal who has been blocked, not by Harpie snark. Obviously no one would legitimately call a Taliban member a Christian!

I think I've heard that FDR was homeschooled, perhaps in grade school prior to Groton. He did travel extensively as a youngster, making one wonder how schooling was possible. His family was very wealthy and homeschooling would not be a surprise for such a child. Not that I want to claim credit for him, however!

I don't know anything about Lummis and Paolini.

Speed should improve with greater bandwidth now. Hope you see this entry, Dpbsmith, which I'll mark as "watched".--Aschlafly 18:39, 23 February 2007 (EST)

Yes, thanks. These are the diffs for the addition of Lindh and Gadahn. Dpbsmith 19:35, 23 February 2007 (EST)
