Legislature / Woods Sen. Dewayne Bunch Too Tired to Fight for Home Schoolers Today

Only hours after tirelessly defending armed wife beaters in a grueling committee hearing, Sen. Dewayne Bunch, R-Cleveland, was scheduled to launch a new crusade to devalue the diplomas of all Tennessee high school graduates.
On today's Senate calendar was his bill requiring that "diplomas issued by home schools be recognized by all state and local governmental entities as having the same rights and privileges of diplomas issued by public school systems." Sadly, apparently weary from yesterday's freedom fighting, our hero tabled his home school bill until Monday.
He also put off another great piece of legislation, this one to crack down on certain poor people living in public housing projects.

They have to meet the same standards as those who have taken a traditional approach. What is the problem with those who simply have a different perspective on this institution? Oh wait, we're talking about home schools and not gay marriage.
Careful Woodsie, you may be mistaken for a home-o-phobe!

I do believe we have a front-runner for comment of the week.

Woods is wrong about Bunch's legislation. It devalues nothing.
The Bredesen administration has been trying to devalue homeschool diplomas.
Here are the facts:
