Angry Homeschooling Parents Boycott 'Subway' Sandwich Shops
Samples of ANGRY Letters sent to the Morons at Subway from Parents:
BOYCOTT Subway!! This is the letter I sent to Subway, Scholastic Inc, AND Quiznos (to let them know I’ll be only going to their stores) Please send this out to EVERY homeschool group you know!!
I see that you are having a competition for elementary children submitting stories to subway.
“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”.
For you that are not aware, homeschooling IS a private school, with the same legal rights as a “regular” private school. What you are doing is downright wrong. I’m sure you’re aware of the following:
According to the National Home Education Research Institute…
“There were an estimated 1,700,000 to 2,100,000 children (grades K-12) home educated during 2002-2003 in the United States. Homeschooling appears to still be the fastest-growing form of education.”
This was FIVE years ago, and believe me, it is a MUCH bigger number now. So I’ll just let all homeschool sites know that we are not welcome in subways, as we don’t really count, and we’ll make sure our families and friends know the same thing. Since we’re not good enough for your competition, then you’re not good enough for our business. The internet is an amazing thing, you can get SO much information out so quickly. A copy of this letter to all the big homeschool sites will get the word out to all the people who you choose to ignore in your competition, and that we need not patron your stores. Thank you for your time in reading this letter, I guess Quiznos is THE place to be!
And to Scholastic Inc., sponsors of the competition.
I understand that you are a sponsor of Subway’s story competition. Were you aware that homeschoolers are excluded from this competition? These are people who buy your product CONSTANTLY. I’d like to share with you a letter I sent to Subway, and what I added to it for all the homeschool groups I could find.
I sent this letter to every site I possibly could. I know that PLENTY of homeschoolers buy your product, and yet we’re not acceptable for this competition. That is WRONG. Please don’t let yourself be associated as not homeschool friendly, because we are a part of your market that uses your products. Thank you for your time and consideration.

“One of the more obvious work-arounds…was for the equipment to be donated to a local park, or to a school of the winner’s choice.”
This was my first thought, too. Imagine the headlines: “Homeschooled child wins new playground for local school.”
