Will their home school shit even be enough to get them into a modern community college? If not what will happen when they do go to a post secondary school to get their basic high school academics? What if one of them (especially one of the girls) decides to go to university? So many ways in which the whole reality they grew up in can fall apart. I personally think that the duggars will be like the Catholic scandal of fundamentalist Christianity.

Exactly. None of the girls will be encouraged to pursue higher education, they've been taught that the woman's place is in the home as a wife and mother. It's a full-on quiverfull movement type mentality.
It is a good question about whether their home schooling is sufficient to get the boys into even a Christian university. I don't know about home schooling regulations at all, let alone the super-fundy home schooling the Duggars would have done.
Quote:Statistically, it is almost a certainty that at least one or two of those children will be gay. That will be the real "scandal." Likely after they're married with kids. Jim Bob and Michelle will be ruining lives for generations!
There has already been speculation that one of the girls is gay. Of course, it's all based on circumstantial evidence and a lot of assumptions so I wouldn't read too much into it.
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
