Aargh!

Diane Flynn Keith proposes that since the government is trying to say that homeschoolers are outlaws we should:

Hoist the Jolly Roger!

Be A Homeschool Pirate!
Hoist the Jolly Roger!

What a cool idea! I've got the pirate flag by the front door already, all I need to do now is to get a bracket for the staff and I can put it up. I'm going to do this for sure! Be sure to read the story here, there are whole bunch of really cool pirate links at the bottom of the article.

    I'm linking to your post. It's a great idea.
    What is the html code for the waving action on the flag? Can't get it....

Here are pictures. And like every such gathering in our environs, there was even a brass band and an improptu "second line" parade. It was a "party" after all. But it was a party with a serious reason. The crowds were so overwhelming that it was hard to hear the speakers, and unfortunately, we did have a fe...
