...says. “We believe that it’s important to live our lives according to the truth that is there.” But she is frustrated by stereotypes perpetuated by statistics, such as the finding that over 75% of homeschooled children attend religious services, according to a 2004 article by Ray published in the “Journal of College Admission.”While Carla Jentoft admits that she and her husband used homeschooling to address their beliefs with the family, these conversations took place in the context of relevant historical study...

The people at Obama's recent town hall in Des Moines already seemed far less pumped than those at campaign events just a few weeks earlier. And though it drew 2,200 people on a Wednesday night, the rally apparently wasn't as full as expected. Minutes before the rally...
