CALLER (Karen from LA): (28:13) I've done homeschool but I know
about them and they are very organized - and they're - they're - they
're very cultish, and so -
RANDI RHODES: This whole part of the super base - of the - they are cults. They - they
CALLER: They are very cultish!
RANDI RHODES: They are - they are a cult, there is no question they are a cult!
CALLER: Well, and when they get a blast, I
mean, those people get riled up so bloody easily - it's - you'd be
shocked - I mean, they are - they think - they see - they see
conspiracies under their bed, so, you know, because they're like, oh my
god they're after us for homeschooling - it's like, they don't care,
trust me!
RANDI RHODES: This treaty - just so people
know - this treaty was backed by uh the group by disabilities groups,
by veterans groups - uh, this - this treaty was, you know, negotiated a
long time ago. Uh - the Republicans chose to use this as a way to rile
up those, uh, ever-depleting numbers of cult-like, uh, you know,
Republicans who will vote against their own children now, their own
children's best interests, if those children should ever travel to a
nation, you know, where disabled people aren't treated fairly!
CALLER: Well, you know, homeschoolers, I
mean - there is a small part that are liberal - but, the very large
majority are religious, home-based, you know, and -
RANDI: Yes, because their reason for homeschooling is not
overcrowded classrooms or that the mother is a teacher herself - or, you
know, that uh -
CALLER: It's for religious reasons -
RANDI: Right, it's because they believe
schools are secular and might teach evolution! Which obviously they
don't believe in! Uh - but they are -
CALLER: They don't believe in a lot of things! It's not just the
evolution thing, it's sex ed, it's uh - they don't want their kids
associating with kids of other religions, they don't want - you know -
they want to control every aspect of their kids' lives. And, yeah, I've
had a lot of dealings with these kinds of moms.
