AMP: Good Luck!

Dr. Albert Mohler (or should I better write Comrade Mohler?) sees the possibility of a political alliance between the groups of the far left of the political spectrum and conservative christians. As he told us last Wednesday, that he doesn't drink alcohol, he doesn't even have a good excuse for such thoughts.

OK, he just sees those common grounds at homeschooling - so fate will most likely spare us of Dr. Mohler performing 'The Internationale'.

How common are those grounds that Dr. Mohler sees with the very left really?

It's true: Also the Very Left (mostly anarchists) likes the idea of homeschooling but it does so to avoid that their children are brought up to be conformist citizens. In this course they want to raise their children as fully autonomous persons who fully enjoy their individualism (As parents they need to have nerves like steel).
The Christian Right wants homeschooling because it wants to fight the non-conformist influences of the public school system on their children. They (other than the Very Left) raise their children to be decals of their parents. It's not of the very first concern of the Christian Right that their children could be discouraged to think on their own. To the contrary: There's nothing more they fear that their children could question the biblical truth when presented with the theory of evolution or unbiblical literature.
I've never heard any proponent of the Christian Right say: I fear that, by the conformist influence of the public school, my child could be discouraged to think for itself.
- But exactly that is the reasoning of the Very Left to homeschool their children.
So while the means are the same - the ends couldn't possibly be more different.

I hope that the Very Left comes to it senses again and realizes that individualism develops from being exposed to several worldviews. To get such an alliance offered should make them start to think.

On the other hand: That they accept this alliance is quite unlikely. In its inability to make compromises the Very Left is nothing short of the Christian Right.
