JOY BEHAR AND THE NEA

“The View’s” views are so skewed to the left that the show should be re-titled, “The Leftist View” and none of its panelists is more liberal, ignorant, hateful, and bigoted than Joy Behar.

Sometimes, however, Behar outdoes herself in the stupid department such as when she recently said of kids who are taught at home, “A lot of them are demented when they’re homeschooled.”

Feel free to watch the clip here and notice that Behar’s outrageous put down of homeschooling gets barely a blip of a reaction from the other women on “The View:” http://michellemalkin.com/2008/11/19/demented-joy-behar-disses-homeschool-students/.

Even the only conservative voice on the show, Elizabeth Hasselbeck, who normally takes on Behar, doesn’t react nor does the clownish Whoopi nor the Botox queen, Baba Wawa.

I guess it becomes tiresome to react to Behar’s ignorance when it’s so repetitive.

Calling homeschooled kids demented, however, demands rebuttal since the comment reflects an attack on all those kids and on their parents who are choosing to bypass the traditional educational system in favor of having control over what their kids learn and how they learn it.

The chief articulated criticisms of homeschooling is that the home teachers, normally the parents, are unqualified to properly instruct their charges and that as a result of being isolated from their peers for six or so hours a day, the children are missing the “socializaton” they would experience in a classroom environment on a daily basis with twenty or thirty other kids.

What goes unspoken is that homeschooled kids and their at-home teacher-parents have the audacity to buck the establishment.

Aside from the fact that Behar is totally unqualified to make her own pronouncements on every issue confronting the human race, her dissing of homeschooling is truly over the top.

The divorced mother of a thirty-seven year old daughter, Behar is a former public school teacher which in itself should have given her pause before uttering that slander. But, no, that background proved no obstacle to her slamming kids as retarded, crazy, unbalanced, and insane, all of which are synonymous with her chosen word, demented.

And just why are they demented?…

Very, very unlikely.
