VOLuntarilyConservative

I'm sure my libertarian friends will love this one. A bill slithering through the Tennessee General Assembly would require all parents of Tennessee schoolchildren to "volunteer" (which isn't really the right term since there isn't a choice to serve) 12 hours a year in their child's school. This stinks on two levels, really. First, it's more government regulation. Second, would you want every parent in the schools - even those with violent criminal backgrounds, a history of mental illness, or a history of sexual misconduct?

This is another great argument for homeschooling.
