Boycott in Progress....

My friend Joanne has some great posts on the ongoing boycott of the sites, blogging servers, and homeschool conferences and events that support the Pearls and NGJ Ministries.

I'm not officially a homeschooler yet, in the sense that my son is too young for me to have to register him as being homeschooled. I do believe that schooling (or unschooling, if you will) starts from birth. I'm a product of the homeschool movement - I never went to a public or private school. So I'm a homeschooled mama who is now and will continue to be a homeschooling mama!

In that spirit, I am entirely supportive of the boycott. Ideally, I'd love to see homeschool conferences spring up that have no tolerance for violent, abusive materials such as the Pearls teach. Conferences where torture implements and discussions on the best way to hide bruises from Child Protective Services are nowhere to be found. I understand that we're not at that point yet, and homeschool families that need to attend conferences may have no choice but to attend those that support the Pearls.

So, I've come up with a partial solution to that particular aspect. I've designed a couple of logos for advocacy wear. Profits from this store are being distributed to several homeschool/positive discipline ministries.

The logos may also be freely used in any electronic media to promote the boycott. Please remember to rightclick to save these to your own computer, then upload as desired.Also, I ask that you link back to one of the following:
Gentle Christian Mothers
Positive Discipline Resource Center
Arms of Love Family Fellowship
This blog
or
the TTUAC Advocacy Wear store.

Join the boycott. Speak out. I don't care if you spank or don't spank. If you use time outs or not. That's irrelevant to the issue at hand - the promotion of violence%
