| | This is the time of year for the annual Wizbang
Blog Awards (think the Oscars for blogs). Last year 5+ homeschool blogs
(several by NCFCA Alumni and HSD members) won awards in the various
competitions, in which HSD members played a big part. This year,
there's only one homeschool blog in any of the 45 categories: SpunkyHomeschool
Spunky (a.k.a. Mrs. Braun, a homeschooling mom from Michigan) has been nominated in the Best Educational
blog category. She is currently trailing her two primary
competitors—one a Ivy league news, gossip, and sex blog, and the other,
a professor at Penn State—by 200 votes.
This wouldn't be so bad by itself—homeschoolers can accept defeat
graciously—but both of these blogs, besides being exceedingly secular,
are also exceedingly elitist. They seem to have a built in disdain for
homeschoolers. A sampling of comments from their blogs:
| Quote: | "The important thing is that IvyGate and I crush the homeschoolers."
"Homeschoolers suck!"
"And seriously, we do need to beat the cr*p out of those homeschool freaks." |
For all these reasons, I'd like to encourage all of you to get
behind SpunkyHomeschool and help vote her to victory. You are allowed
to vote once a day (from every available computer) until the end of
December 15th. For more information, click here.

(Voting ends today. (Friday) So get your vote in as fast as possible!)
