I don't believe they will. Fear mongering on your part. Maybe the church will be forced to install Ayers as the prophet.

I bet you haven't done that either, have you? well, sir, until you can satisyf my little tests and prove your worthiness to discuss this issue, I refuse to acknowledge the basis for any opinion you might have against home schooling.
how do test scores of home schoolers compare to the public school system?

Those a direct questions that only require a yes or no. No pontificating. Just your opinion.
What's with the argument that we'll be forced to marry gays in the temple? Are we forced to marry fornicators in the temple? How about drinkers? Smokers? That argument is just idiotic.

If schools teach that gay relationships are normal and that we shouldn't shun (or reject or fight or beat up, etc) gay people simply because they're gay, more power to them. I feel comfortable teaching my children in my home.

That is part of the Slippery Slope argument. 'If we allow gay marriage then we have to allow them to be married in the temple.' Bullcrap! The LDS church is a private institution not governed my federal or state law because of its tax exempt status. I doubt any homosexuals are going to go rushing to the temple to be sealed for time and all eternity. Churches need to stop provoking fear into their membership in order to sway their vote. Nice tactic but fallacious.
