– I’m new to this group but a long-term (30+ years) vegetarian and recent vegan. I…homeschool a 6th grade, vegetarian daughter who is an aspiring animal rights activist. Part of the reason we homeschool is so that we can focus on progressive and sustainable topics, for self-directed, liberal arts inspired education. We have gotten to know a few more vegetarian and vegan families who homeschool in Baltimore. I wonder if there are any more vegetarians /vegans out there who are homeschooling. I am interested in developing a research /writing group for homeschooling middle and high school students. We belong to a Baltimore area homeschool co-op (BRANCH) that holds classes on Fridays and has use of a log cabin space at a local nature center. Whether it’s a “virtual” discussion group, or a local group that meets monthly or even weekly, I think that this would be a wonderful network to build. The students could strengthen their research and writing skills while following their interests in sustainability and animal rights.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/VRGparentsandkids/ is intended to be a group that offers support for
families raising children on vegan diets and for vegan kids. We envision it as
a place to get advice about a wide-variety of topics: pregnancy, birthday
parties, school lunches, Halloween, non-leather apparel, cruelty-free products,
summer camps, and more. Please use it as a place to share your wisdom, seek
advice, or just find a sympathetic ear. The goal is to offer support.
Consequently, any profane, defamatory, offensive,
or violent language will be removed. Feel free to disagree, but do so
respectfully. Hateful or discriminatory comments regarding race, ethnicity,
religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation, or political beliefs will not
