...troubled public schools. The result is a metropolitan area that today boasts 1,500 home-school families, many with teenage children demanding basketball teams, theater productions and science labs. So the home-school movement in Wichita has literally outgrown the home.

Unlike most skits on music albums, this one hits home: Franklin has proved himself to be a threat to musical orthodoxy.
