:Good point. I think the labor union issue is more of an effect than a cause. I'll downgrade it to the questionable category.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 23:08, 22 July 2011 (EDT)

== Corrections to grammar ==
I am suggesting these corrections on the talk page, rather than making direct edits, because as an Englishman I may be missing some subtle points of US English.
*"Reasons for why" should be "Reasons why". This is a common piece of illiteracy.
*For "atheistic-controlled", read either "atheist-controlled" or "atheistic". I shall not go in to the factual status of the statement, which can charitably be described as laughable.
*For "Homeschooling is less common in England, in contrast with the U.S.", read "Homeschooling is less common in England than in the U.S.". Otherwise the reader is left wondering "less common than what?". The sentence "Homeschooling is less common in England than dirt, in contrast with the U.S." would be grammatically correct. Come to think of it, it might be true.
*"This increases secular influences and reduces Christian guidance." Why not "This increases secular guidance and reduces Christian influences."? Something more neutral (NB: not "fair and balanced", which has come to mean the opposite of its plain sense) might be in order.
* For "Subsequent years after World War II", read "In the years after World War II". I've never seen this mistake before.
