→Do we really want to "invite" school-age students to this site?

:I guess your assumption about Terry's intention is correct, but I think in this case, it really is better not to encourage people. Those who really want to find out more will know how to use Google, so we don't have to give the rest silly ideas. Not even to mention what might happen if people use school/work computers to follow "our suggestion"...

:And a possible alternative to "Just take our word" would be to find more sources to back our claims. The article already has a few, but I guess we can dig out more and then spread them more evenly. We'll figure something out :) --[[User:DirkB|DirkB]] 23:37, 6 September 2008 (EDT)

I'm not accusing TerryH of targeting children directly, but this wiki was founded by and (originally) for homeschoolers as a trustworthy resource. Why the need, then to talk this site up so much compared to the article here on StormFront? Was there really a need for multiple screen captures so that the readers here can absorb and become curious about some of the content there? I agree that we should not stick our heads in the sand, and should stand up to oppose sites like this, but then why not feature the KKK site here and include screen captures, or do the same for the dreaded r-wiki and show screens from there to explain why it's dismissed here? I'm sorry, but unless this is trimmed to the level given Stormfront, I can't help but feel that the real intent was to get people curious about the "alternate" views expressed there, provide samples, and encourage direct visits. This is not what the parents of homeschooled kids would expect from a trustworthy encyclopedia. --[[User:DinsdaleP|DinsdaleP]] 11:42, 7 September 2008 (EDT)
