What do you think about government control over home schooling?

The extent of governmental control over education should be providing one at taxpayer expense if, and only if it's not being adequately provided by the parents. Testing to ensure a complete education is the most the govt. should ever get involved.

Once they NEA is able to declare that failing to teach homosexuality and the theory of macroevolution constitutes inadequate education, then we'll have to start firing some public officials for sure.

TChris, I agree with your take on home schooling, but unfortunately that is not the way the laws are being written. The current laws in some states have the ability to effective wipe out homeschooling.

My point was more that if the state has control over when minors can be outdoors, then they should logically also have the power over home schooling.
