For More of Favorite Daughter, Vote Here!

There's no category called "Best Feminist Teen" in the homeschool blog awards, but I wish there were. And I wish there were thousands upon thousands of strong contenders for it, harmonizing with Favorite Daughter's young voice in the alternative education blog-hersphere.

But I get the uncomfortable feeling she may be pretty much the sole standard bearer for that, writing on such a sharp cutting edge that few will even find her point of view to consider it, much less join her. She just doesn't fit comfortably into the curriculum-based Christian conversations and patriarchal perspectives that seem to dominate homeschooling both online and off. And doesn't want to.

Her olive oil essay about purity balls really spoke to many of you non-homeschool types ABOUT homeschool types, but you can well imagine it's the kind of thing that would hurt her more than help her in building and reaching a homeschool following! So if you find Favorite Daughter's writing worth a vote to help bring her fresh eyeballs and keep her unique view engaged in the conversation, please take a minute right now (or sometime this week before voting ends) and give her your click here.

"Do we without protest, accept accelerating preschool and nursing home cultures, which warn ominously that
the earlier you institutionalize your child,
the earlier he will institutionalize you?"
