Ed news from the campaign trail.A big majority of the over one million home schoolers in the country are Christian fundamentalists. And apparently they like Mike Huckabee.These right-wing religious home schoolers include home schooling as part of a broader attack on the rights of individuals and on the separation of religion and government, using the code words of “family and marriage.”The NY Times reports:

In political terms… “family and marriage” are expressed in opposition to same-sex marriage laws, opposition to broader rights for gay men and lesbians, and support for covenant marriage laws like the one signed by Mr. Huckabee as governor in 2001.The law allows married couples to sign a binding contract limiting their ability to divorce. (In 2005, Mr. Huckabee and his wife, Janet, signed one and renewed their vows in a Valentine’s Day ceremony in front of 5,000 cheering constituents in a Little Rock sports arena.)

The right-wing home schoolers make up a growth group within the shrinking Republican base.
