Why Aren't Sarah Palin's Kids in School?

I'm upset that Sarah Palin's kids are on the campaign trail with her instead of being in school.  Especially Bristol.  She's a senior in high school, and I think Sarah should show everyone how important graduating from high school is. Instead, she's having her campaign with her. I don't understand this. I really don't.  She's putting her campaign ahead of her kids' schooling.  

I really believe in home schooling, since so much that is taught in school these days is problematic.  But I don't think Sarah is homeschooling her kids.  She's just showing them off to the country for her benefit.  

There are some things I like about her -- the fact that she has stood up to corruption and really tried to change things in Alaska.  But I just don't respect her choices with her family.

Marriage Shouldn't Be Political

Marriage should be sacred, meaningful, and done for the right reasons.  Sarah Palin's daughter, Bristol, is five months pregnant.  Sarah Palin just now announced that the kids (her daughter is only 17) are getting married.  

The kids are obviously getting married just because it's important to Sarah Palin politically.  Otherwise, wouldn't they have announced their marriage before Palin was picked to be the Vice Presidential nominee?  

Once again, Sarah Palin is showing that she puts her career and her ambitions above her children.  If it's right for her daughter to get married, then she should do it.  If Sarah Palin had convinced her daughter that it was the right thing to do, that's one thing.  But instead, it looks to me like she convinced her daughter that she'd better do it for Mommy.  That's not being a good mom.
