Can we create a human right to home school?

William Tell would have reserved a crossbow bolt for each and every one of these court tyrants.

As I recall, in Europe going to school is mandatory.

"Going to school" is obsolete. So are buggy whips.

Agreed, which is why this story is doubly disappointing.

If I had to live in Europe, Switzerland would probably be my first choice.

Continued Socialist Progress making sure the state makes parents aware their kids are not theirs, except to pay for and house and feed and clothe and ...

butnif atate doesnt like how your raise or school them, what values and faith you put in their heads,....

Thank you for that post. The difference between the USA and all of Europe lies in a simple phrase: “It is forbidden.” (For now) the operative phrase on the USA is “It can be done.”

And note that the phrase here is NOT, “It is allowed.” The difference is more profound than that.

The Gramscian marxists among us now and for the last 100 years have tried to change that.

People's rights do not derive from the state.

The power of the state derives from the people.

It's a nice theory but it doesn't really work that way, hardly anywhere, including the USA these days.

What we've seen in the Trump era is that even when the citizens elect new leaders they are tortured to the point of impotence by the State and it's deep actors.

On a practical level the State controls us all the time: people don't do things that they otherwise might because of fear of the State, or if they are fearless the State may have arrested and incarcerated them and they are living in prison.

Sometimes it’s good to depart from the established rules. This rule, government control of children’s minds, is one such rule from which departure is required.

This all goes back to Hellary’s “it takes a village”. No, it takes two loving responsible parents. The world has gone nuts in abolishing parental rights.

Apparently, Switzerland has finally caught the European disease. A shame.

You state well exactly what I see as the future of the "central school" paradigm....i.e. it is doomed. Future central campuses will provide lab facilities, shops, ancillary to on-line instruction.

Kahn Academy and MANY others offer superior instruction to classroom instruction.
