Subway restaurant discriminates against homeschooled children.

Homeschooling families may be welcomed to spend their money at Subway - but their children are denied access to their contest.

The website for the "Every Sandwich Tells a Story" contest states:

Contest is open only to legal US residents, over the age of 18 with children in either elementary, private or parochial schools that serve grades PreK-6. No home schools will be accepted.
Subway discriminates against homeschooled children

As a homeschooling mother that spends far too much money at Subway (as it seems to be the healthiest fast food option when we're out), I am really sickened that I've been supporting a company that would discriminate against my own children this way.

I am quite certain this is the doing of Scholastic books - who have a long history of discrimination against homeschoolers. But Subway should have known better than to risk the alienation of over a million children and their parents.

Ron Paul addresses a group of home schoolers.

I love sites that really tell it like it is.

Millions of kids are miserable in school, and think it's all their own fault, that something is "weird" with them.

This site tells it like it is:
