Bob Unruh performs another feat of stenography in a March 13 WorldNetDaily article, uncritically repeating homeschooling activist Michael Farris’ assertion that the Romeike family case (which WND has consistently misreported about) somehow means that the U.S. government can force children to attend schools that violate their parents’ religious beliefs. As per usual, Farris’ assertions are allowed to stand unchallenged.
Meanwhile, Unruh and WND have yet to report a controversy at the school Farris founded, Patrick Henry College. As we’ve documented, PHC has demonstrated a callous attitude toward female students who have been sexually assaulted that has essentially given male students accused of sexual assault a pass.
Apparently, WND’s mission statement to serve “as a light exposing wrongdoing, corruption and abuse of power” doesn’t involve covering WND’s favorite sacred cows when they act the same way.
