And just to head off something that might be dropped on this thread, I'll add this:
Ted Cruz, Homeschooling, S.306, Dishonesty and Pig-Ignorance
"..What is circulating now is a story that Ted Cruz supports the federal regulation of homeschooling. There are two underlying causes of this story: rank dishonesty and pig-ignorance....
Enter Mike Lee, Ted Cruz and S.306 and proof that no good deed goes unpunished. The bill itself is very, very simple:...

This non-troversy is being driven by a variety of Trump friendly websites, but even RedState is not immune to this cretinish #ouchebaggery ( here | here). Note that this bill is being defended by the Home School Legal Defense Association. That, alone, should tell you that the Trump-ish critique is dishonesty on stilts.
This is not an argument about the Constitution. It is not about the role of the federal government in education. It is a very simple concept. The Coverdell ESA is a federal program that could benefit homeschooling families. The current definition of whom is eligible to participate omits homeschooling families making use of that program potentially risky. The Cruz-Lee bill, S.306, simply includes homeschooling expenses as an eligible expense, it does not create a federal definition of homeschooling."
Thanks back.
S.306 is discussed in the interview.
I urge everyone to listen to the interview.
