Frankly, I am siding with the father.
I have nothing against “homeschooling” as an option for the education of children in the USA.
Some home schooled students have been proved to be excelling academically over some publicly schooled children.
Some home schooled students have proved to be victims of abusive parents.
Hense the government mandate regarding a basic education,as both a right for the child, and the duty of a parent, for all the children born in the USA.
This is a case of a family divided, via a legal divorce, with a child involved.
I find your comments particularly offensive, as you seem to think the fathers only function is to provide monetary support to his former wife.
Then read again, because that's NOT what I was saying.
“I find your comments particularly offensive, as you seem to think the fathers only function is to provide monetary support to his former wife.”
Tht’s a fairly common point of view these days, and one that the courts have eagerly embraced. It also goes a long way in explaining why so many children are born out of wedlock. Men have received the memo, and they just aren’t entering into licensed marriage.
I guess the silver lining here is that we will have fewer and fewer of these nasty divorce battles happening in the future. Because marriage is becoming increasingly rare.
