The Double Standard Nobody Noticed In The Naugler Case
I’m sure many of you remember when the CPS visited the Naugler family’s Kentucky home earlier this month, and took all 10 of their kids.
For the crime of living outside of mainstream society, one of their busy body neighbors alerted the authorities to their unique lifestyle, and now the family is still dealing with the consequences. To date, none of these kids have been returned to their parents.
So what was it about their lifestyle that was so offensive to the authorities, that they were deemed unfit to raise a family?
Based on some of the questions that the CPS asked the parents, which included subjects like guns, vaccines, and their homeschool curriculum, it seems like a classic case of the government targeting people who are just trying to live independent of the system.
Chief among these supposed crimes, was that the family wasn’t giving their kids a “proper education.” The Nauglers had been following a style of teaching called “unschooling.” In a nutshell, unschooling involves abandoning standard curricula and grading systems, allowing kids to learn on their own by approaching the subjects they are most interested in, and teaching with hands on, real world experiences.
