The real kicker is that the argument they use is NOT that the children need to learn, but that the children should be required to have interaction outside the home.
Hey Rush and Hannity! Here’s something you can talk about for a change.
Don’t blame the judges for this one. After reviewing several threads concerning this issue, the people of California are ultimately to blame for their homeschooling fiasco, a consequence of the poor wording in California’s laws, in my opinion. More specifically, Californians are evidently not getting themselves sufficiently involved in their state’s legislative processes and lose canons in their code are consequently firing.
The government hates competition.
Send your kids to school with butter knives. Continue to do so until they are expelled, and you are required to provide alternative education for them.
One day soon the tree will have to be watered or it will certainly die
Ah. Now that’s a pretty good plan!
We my not be able to implement it though, we have to sell our house in FL first, and not much is moving yet.
By the way, it was about 73 degrees today. Why in the world are you living in CT? You should buy my house!
Amen! I am with you on the “this ruling will not stand”. It’s funny, but we are finding ourselves back in the days of Patriots and Duty. It is a patriotic duty to fight this oppression.
The masques are coming off the liberals in Kalifornia.
I live in Virginia. the CT is an abbreviation, but not for a state, and I’d love to get rid of it, but I can’t.
However, having visited San Diego on business (with my family) for a few times, I can say that it is one of my favorite places. I loved the zoo.
I guess it’s better than CharlesWayneVirgin lol
As luck would have it, the family was not the one we would have picked for a homeschool test case.
Is there something about this family that makes them inappropriate? Is homeschooling in CA falling victim to a family with significant problems?
I’ve also visited Florida a couple of times, and while I found it tolerable enough, and had some fun there, I’m not sure I want to live in hurricane territory, or where I could accidentally get eaten by the wildlife.
:-)
I’m thinking about retiring to a 3rd-world country I can drive to, like West Virginia.
That said, it looks as though the court was worried about a lack of an external support system for these children in case of abuse, and has tarred all homeschoolers with the same brush.
I have long thought that a Constitutional amendment should be put forward that enshrines the right of Parents to:
1) select the education system and method for their children
2) the right to determine the belief system that the child will be raised with
3) the right to determine the associations and friends the child will maintain or distance themselves from
4) the right to determine appropriate punishment for their children so long as such punishment does not cause physical injury requiring medical treatment
It’s nearly as disturbing to witness a society succumb to the circumstances that disturb it.
I often think about the Jews of Nazi Germany and the incremental activity that inevitably led to their extermination. But instead of killing the body, the Liberal Fascism of today kills the soul.
I’ve also been thinking about Costa Rica. Neat place- hopefully no Colombian/ Venezuelan stupidity will spill over there.
Wow, California is really experiencing a Red Spring this year.
California morphing into Communfornia.
