No, it's not clear at all. We don't have the rulings themselves, we have only the vague interpretation provided by an advocacy group. And the article under discussion here shows the very great distance possible between the claims made by advocacy groups, and the rulings they puport to discuss. I have not been able to find the rulings themselves, and am not willing to take HSLDA's word for it.
As it is, you've provided vague citations to two rulings by a city municipal court. I'm pretty sure that a California state appellate court ruling trumps those.
And, fwiw, all you've really provided is a cite from a website which claims that the Turner and Shinn rulings are no longer valid as regards "private schools," but -- and this is crucial -- the website cites no California cases that overturn either Turner or Shinn. The HSLDA arguments have apparently not been tested (at least, not successfully) in court.
While it's possible that such rulings exist, the HSLDA website does not cite them -- and it leads me to conclude that no such rulings exist.
FWIW, the with regard to standards for private schools, see the court's discussion of Board of Education v. Allen.
“’It's clear to me how the HSLDA citations apply’
“No, it's not clear at all.’”
It is to me. HSLDA cites them as on-point to the question. Further research indicates that their “vague interpretation” is pretty much the accepted interpretation in California. I've actually found independent commentary and detailed analysis of the cases involved.
“I'm pretty sure that a California state appellate court ruling trumps those.”
These cases have never been challenged, and even the illegitimate black-robed tyrants here haven't directly addressed them. However, in researching the question, I also found that the current interpretation, as cited by the HSLDA, was incorporated into a federal consent decree between the state of California and the federal government in protecting the rights of parents and children in Calfornia.
Or at least, this has been the understanding of 166,000 homeschoolers in the state of California for some years, and apparently, that of the executive branch of the government of the state of California, in that they have permitted 166,000 families to homeschool according to these interpretations of law, and the legislature, which has not lifted a finger to modify the law in any way to prevent these 166,000 homeschooling families from using the law in this way.
Oh, but heck, against a couple of hundred thousand folks using the law and two full branches of government accepting that that is the proper use of the law, we have three black-robed bastards who say otherwise.
They can drop dead. It would be no loss to decent people in the world if they did so, and soon.
