I agree with the outcome of this case. If every individual parent could decide exactly what his kids are to be taught in school, public schools would be even more ineffectual than they are now.

While I understand the point you're making, I think the problem is that the courts are making both harder to homeschool AND making it harder to mitigate the disaster of public education. The real travesty is the fact that the court IN WRITING published this statement:

In summary, we hold that there is no free-standing fundamental right of parents “to control the upbringing of their children by introducing them to matters of and relating to sex in accordance with their personal and religious values and beliefs” and that the asserted right is not encompassed by any other fundamental right.

I think it reveals that their motivation is a little bit more than merely 'avoiding chaos in public school'.

Its hard for me to disagree with the Court's statement. The Court is saying that it will not expand the "privacy right" and due process clause to include a new right to control your child's sex education. Wouldn't any other conclusion be activist? Wouldn't it be an endoresement of the "right to privacy" nonsense and the ridiculous expansion of the due process clause?

My problem with the 9th Circus is that they are activist about everything EXCEPT when the requested activism would help a Christian or conservative cause.

I agree that there is a conspiracy against home-schooling, but the Legislature is the place to address this. If this doesn't work, leave the state.
