At some point and soon, if anything other than liberalism and the democrat party is to survive in this country, there has to be a serious and major rebellion against the state monopoly on education.

"We wanted to be the main and driving influence in our children's lives."

As a parent who recognizes that ultimately we are to be held totally responsible for what our children are taught, regardless of who does the teaching, I concur 100%.

From the article:

In March of this year, a California court essentially outlawed homeschooling in the state. Justice H. Walter Croskey of the Second District Court of Appeal said, “California courts have held that … parents do not have a constitutional right to homeschool their children.”

He continued, “Parents have a legal duty to see to their children’s schooling under the provisions of these laws.” Why, in the court’s eyes, was it necessary to send children to public school rather than educating them at home? Justice Crosky cryptically explained:

“A primary purpose of the educational system is to train school children in good citizenship, patriotism and loyalty to the state and the nation as a means of protecting the public welfare,”

Compare what a judge in modern day California said with what the Nazi Minister of Education, Bernard Rust said in 1935:

Teachers are directed to instruct their pupils… and to awaken in them a sense of their responsibility toward the community of the nation.
