Honorable Activist Thomas Zampino should be removed from the bench."
This is the sort of social problem that only dueling can properly redress...which is why the moonbats had dueling outlawed.
Is Stevie gonna pay for 7 kids to go to parochial school, or is he trying to break her bank?
How was he able to assist in the home schooling at one time which he now finds so objectionable? The judge is an idiot, wasting tax dollars like this.
Wait...7 kids aged 12 to 4 years??? This guy will never stop paying child support. He should have stayed home.
I wonder if this isn't a move to lower child support or alimony- if she is homeschooling seven children she probably cannot work fulltime.
Do we know that he left the home or was he thrown out?
More likely the father is engaging in spite. A more advanced case of that condition would have him murdering "her" children.
A lot of these comments about "monitoring" homeschooled kids are the direct result of several disgraceful episodes over the last couple of years -- mainly in some of NJ's crummiest cities (I believe two of the situations involved families in Camden and Trenton) -- in which parents who claimed to be home-schooling their kids basically locked them in their bedrooms and ran crack dens out of the homes.
I don't know what the answer is, but surely there's got to be some reasonable middle ground between full-blown government oversight and total parental neglect.
LOL!
Right on...If dueling was still legal we'd have far fewer moonbats.
They don't call it Nazi Jersey for nothing.
If you live there, you can't be "thrown out". You can leave though.
How about rewriting the headline!
Estranged husband sues wife to stop homeschooling. Judge makes her stop.
The headline makes it appear that the state of NJ made her stop.
This is not what happened.
Regardless, left leaning government officials are salivating at the idea
of stopping homeschooling. They look for opportunities to block the rights of parents
to control the education of their children.
Left leaning beaurocrats want to have control over the indoctrination of our children,
so that they can teach them the proper dogmas of leftism.
That's what I think, and using the courts for vendetta is lawsuit abuse.
He's not interested in their schooling. He's messing with his ex.
How dare her... Removing her children from the group brain wash of federally controled public school..
Wait till Hitlery is elected in 2008.. Jail time might be advocated..
Hard to say what the ulterior motive are in this matter. A friend of mine challenged his wife's homeschooling their three children after their divorce because his ex-wife was, and is, a flake and homeschooling was her way of not getting kids to school on time, or getting homework done. The kids' "education" was mostly housework and watching television. So it could be spite by the husband but since he is insisting on parochial school it seems he is at least willing to pay for private school tuition as opposed to public schools. And it could be the mother really can't handle five homeschooled kids and apparently two preschoolers by herself. I think we need more facts on this before condemning all the parties. Someone ought to be able to check to see if the kids really are being educated, not necessarily the government, but we don't want to end up with dependent adults because they weren't educated, either.
The gist of all this (all "public" education) goes to a modern anti-historical fabrication of the founders recognition that our young citizens should be educated.
The fabrication involves the substitution of "the state" for the concept of "the society" and "the public".
It is an attempt, dominant since the 1940s, to place the state and all its operations as "the focus and core" of "the society", contrary to the Constitution's foundation as the governing instrument of our society as one of limited government.
What is the proper role of Government in all this? It is not to be our children's education masters. It is to provide the legal infrastructure for our free personal and economic associations to be able to obtain the means for our children's education, and to support the less fortunate whose life circumstances make that difficult for them.
At every point you accept a direct government-role as your savior, the laws it enacts to make that possible make it your master.
In 1800, the Bible was the most widely read book, and required reading by almost every child.
The United States had the highest literacy rate in the world - 90 percent.
Try to match that today
What "'lady' judge"?
Nor should she. Seven children that age, she should not even work part-time.
