Angelina Jolie Talks Marriage, Home-Schooling Kids and More

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt constantly face questions about getting married and their children, and recently Jolie has opened up a bit about her life with Brad and the kids.

Angelina Jolie is asked frequently about the possibility of marrying Brad Pitt, as well as an endless stream of questions about her adopted children. She sat down recently and talked about those issues and more in an interview with Christiane Amanpour. The interview will air on both Good Morning America and Nightline. During the interview, of particular interest is that she and Pitt apparently disagree on one very big, fundamental philosophical issue.

Whether she meant to address it or not, Jolie let slip that she and Pitt disagree on the death penalty, and rather than try to brush aside that slip, she opened up about it…at least to an extent. Says Jolie of the disagreement, "I won't say whose side anyone is on, but it's the one, the thing nobody brings up at dinner because nobody wants us to go off on each other. But it's fun. It's a fun debate, you know? It's a good, you want to be able to have, to respect each others views and to not be exactly…we're not identical. We have…we have strong views."

They do indeed have very strong views, and have chosen to home-school their children. Jolie says that’s not because they’re constantly on the move (though that would make it nearly impossible to place them in a "regular" school). Rather, Angelina notes, "I'm being very careful with their schooling, we're home-schooling especially when it comes to history, to make sure it's not one country's point of view of their country. Because it has to be very balanced and they have to learn about their country so they can form their own conclusions." In short, the Jolie/Pitt children are probably not going to get the standard pro-American jingoistic version of the facts. Who knows, maybe Howard Zinn’s seminal work "A People’s History of the United States" will eventually be part of the curriculum.
