making sure we assist and train people who want to run for office
and create a strong party so that locals wish to affiliate with us.

I support them as long as they bring their children up to the
standards of public education. For example, if the parents
are really stupid and don't teach their children anything than
that is tantamount to child abuse. However, if they are
concerned intelligent parents who give their child a
well rounded full education, then up to a point it is fine. As long
as the child also learns social skills in some way so they don't become
isolated loners who don't know how to work in groups. But sometimes
home schooling works very well.
