Wouldn't a class action lawsuit by home schoolers against the state put a stop to the harassment.

Hslda.org does a pretty good job of thwarting detrimental homeschooling legislation. Many times, bad bills do not even make it out of committee.
Under the No Child Left Behind Act, homeschools and private schools are exempt from federal legislation. Many states have tried to pass legislation which would make homeschoolers take the same tests that public students must take under NCLB. When informed by HSLDA.org that they will lose all federal funding if they try it, they back off.
The genie is out of the bottle, and they can't put it back in again. Some states realize it now, and try to entice homeschoolers back into the system by offering on-line courses or classes at the public school.
