Can you give an example of this happening. I'm not being glib. Seriously, I've never heard of parents being shot and killed for not sending their kids to a public school.

Thoeting,

Because parents have never been shot and killed does not mean that police, and courts could do that to parents who are sufficiently resistant.

Just as it is very, very uncommon for a tax resister to push it that far, it would also be unlike for a parent to do this as well.....but,,,,that is the power that the state does have available.

I suggest that you check out the Homeschooling Legal Defense Association's web site. There you will find page up page of school officials sending out police and social workers. There are also a few instances of children and parent being jailed, and of the state taking court custody of the children. This HAS happened. There are the court documents to prove it.

This is what government schools are! They have the police, courts, and social workers to FORCE their will.

That should read:
