Thanks. I’ve written a response to the editor of the journal, addressing the incorrect information. One might expect that level of error, lack of proof for claims made and vitriol in an Internet chat room, but not as an article in an academic journal. There has also been some lengthy criticism on an international homeschooling researchers list of which I’m part. I hope the journal will retract or at least demand a correction of the article.

Thank you for highlighting this article and its inflammatory claims. I’ve responded to Ms. West and posted my response on my blog as well. I completely agree that these efforts are misplaced and our entire country would be better served by those energies being redirected into meaningful educational reform instead.
