This is precisely why more and more families are pulling their kids from public schooling and increasingly homeschooling.

Amen!

[upchuck]

Home school ping.

[TigersEye]

The people promoting this deserve a short trial and a speedy execution.

[JoSixChip]

This seems like a violation of the 4th Amendment.

Bears remembering this passage from Orwell's 1984

---

"...There was a trampling of boots and another blast on the comb as the children charged into the living-room. Mrs Parsons brought the spanner. Winston let out the water and disgustedly removed the clot of human hair that had blocked up the pipe. He cleaned his fingers as best he could in the cold water from the tap and went back into the other room.

'Up with your hands!' yelled a savage voice.

A handsome, tough-looking boy of nine had popped up from behind the table and was menacing him with a toy automatic pistol, while his small sister, about two years younger, made the same gesture with a fragment of wood. Both of them were dressed in the blue shorts, grey shirts, and red neckerchiefs which were the uniform of the Spies. Winston raised his hands above his head, but with an uneasy feeling, so vicious was the boy's demeanour, that it was not altogether a game.

'You're a traitor!' yelled the boy. 'You're a thought-criminal! You're a Eurasian spy! I'll shoot you, I'll vaporize you, I'll send you to the salt mines!'

Suddenly they were both leaping round him, shouting 'Traitor!' and 'Thought-criminal!' the little girl imitating her brother in every movement. It was somehow slightly frightening, like the gambolling of tiger cubs which will soon grow up into man-eaters. There was a sort of calculating ferocity in the boy's eye, a quite evident desire to hit or kick Winston and a consciousness of being very nearly big enough to do so. It was a good job it was not a real pistol he was holding, Winston thought.

Mrs Parsons' eyes flitted nervously from Winston to the children, and back again. In the better light of the living-room he noticed with interest that there actually was dust in the creases of her face.

'They do get so noisy,' she said. 'They're disappointed because they couldn't go to see the hanging, that's what it is. I'm too busy to take them. and Tom won't be back from work in time.'

'Why can't we go and see the hanging?' roared the boy in his huge voice.

'Want to see the hanging! Want to see the hanging!' chanted the little girl, still capering round.

Some Eurasian prisoners, guilty of war crimes, were to be hanged in the Park that evening, Winston remembered. This happened about once a month, and was a popular spectacle. Children always clamoured to be taken to see it. He took his leave of Mrs Parsons and made for the door. But he had not gone six steps down the passage when something hit the back of his neck an agonizingly painful blow. It was as though a red-hot wire had been jabbed into him. He spun round just in time to see Mrs Parsons dragging her son back into the doorway while the boy pocketed a catapult.

'Goldstein!' bellowed the boy as the door closed on him. But what most struck Winston was the look of helpless fright on the woman's greyish face..."

Bill of Rights #4 - The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

This is one way to get mandatory vaccines. The ones for the home schoolers will probably contain extra Mercury, aluminum and viruses.

I’m sure they’ll be able to look for guns too. That won’t be a problem to get probable cause. Little johnnie the commie will be happy to tattle on their conservative and home school neighbors.

[Windflier]

"...would mandate quarterly ‘health and safety visits’ to homeschool families by school district officials. The bill states that these visits would be with the consent of the parents but also specifies that parents can be overridden if a judge determines there is probable cause for home inspection.”

This is going to lead to violence, mark my words. At the very least, it will lead to thousands of families fleeing these totalitarian states.

If this crap happens, I would simply advise people to do what they can to lay low.

It starts by NEVER having contact with their public schools - the people who get in trouble the most are those who get angry with the way their public schools are treating their kids and pull them out. For those people, it’s very possible that the schools will not let go of their kids and will have CPS cases opened on them. Rather than waiting for that to happen (which it will), simply DO NOT ENROLL THEM in the first place.

If it’s too late for that, then move to a nearby town (during the early summer), choose a private school that’s 20 or so miles away, and claim that your kids go there. Most people will stop at that, but obviously tell your kids to also claim to go to that school, should they be asked. For this scenario, be sure to tell the original public school that you’re moving out of state, that way they are less likely to any attempt to contact the schools in your new town (or even bother you again) - and obviously don’t tell the schools in your new town anything - if they don’t know you’re there, they have nothing to investigate.

At that point, you have to be somewhat careful not to attract attention, with that being most likely if your kids are in public during school hours (or visible to neighbors) - so avoid that as much as possible.

It sucks, but these are the types of steps we need to get prepared to do as this country gets ‘transformed’.

[Beautiful_Gracious_Skies]

Beat them at their game.

Enroll the kidos is a “private christian school” program that is done by internet or mail. Pay their 300-400$ fee.

The children and parent will not be subjected to the state BS because they are technically enrolled in a private school.

Problem solved.

ACE Christian - Lighthouse Christian Schools is one that has been around for missionary kids for 50+ years.

[maine-iac7]

but if passed - they would go - PARTICULARLY go - to homeschoolers -

[maine-iac7]

Dear God, not this again.

They tried this in Maine 39 years ago - just after I moved back from CA to avoid their schools for my 5-year-old.there.

This was the catalyst that got me into politics.
Actually, homeschooling was forbidden in Maine at the time - and that will be the next step now. We fought a long 2-3 year fight but we stopped the ‘Home Health Visitor” (Who’s job description included: “Must be at least a high school graduate.” Then we got homeschooling legal and Maine is now the safest and best state for homeschooling.

But I am now a great grandmother, several times over. I’m fighting now their attempt to mandate vaccinations - I’m too tired to battle this one all over again, but I’m sure it’s coming.

The fact remains that some people are so stupid they think they are smart. When those people find their way into government, they demand we follow them regardless of the damage their demands bring.

I have family members who are like this and they are absolutely convinced of their superior mental abilities yet can never convince me of their knowledge when challenged with even the most basic questions. Invariably they will respond with ‘ we will have to agree to disagree’ or ‘ you just don’t understand’ or their favorite which is to get angry and start throwing ad hominem attacks against me.
