I scarcely noticed in 1960, when I was a sophomore in high school, and it happened so fast. All of the lunch counters and soda fountains in Frankfort, KY’s drug stores and dime stores disappeared overnight.

“Skyler is an unschooling dad of three children and is the editor of the book Unschooling Dads: Twenty-two Testimonials on Their Unconventional Approach to Education.

What is the Truth, Anyway?
It’s no wonder that when we try to have a conversation about the truth and validity of moral principles, or the hypocrisy by which the world sees children, we’re wading into territory that most people are perfectly comfortable ignoring.

The Sweet, Animating Contest of Freedom

What a very important aspect of your life! Shouldn’t this be something we choose instead of ignorantly accepting the conditioning of the state?
