Education: Six homeschoolers are using blogs to rebel against rebellion | Jessica McCaleb

When he wakes up in the morning, 17-year-old Alex Harris doesn't roll out of bed just in time to gobble down Pop-Tarts and race off to catch the bus. Instead, after reading his Bible and praying, Alex eats a homemade breakfast (accompanied by a kefir-fruit smoothie) and sits down at his Apple laptop to update his blog, The Rebelution.

Alex and his twin brother Brett are part of an online movement of blogging teens who are rebelling against the cultural trends of their generation. They, along with Tim Sweetman, Jonathan McCarthy, Robert Wood, and Kierstyn Paulino, are Christian homeschoolers between 15 and 18 years old who use their blogs to combat teenage apathy and political ignorance and to build Christian worldviews.
