Timing?
- Gov Schwarzanegger signs SB 777, enforcing mandated pro-homosexual agenda indoctrination in government (public) schools.
- The "California Exodus" campaign is one example of the reaction to this new law among Christian families who attend public schools: urging parents to remove their children from these 'camps' and either enroll them in private schools or homeschool them.
- Homeschooling in CA is made illegal, because of one family, affecting tens of thousands of homeschooling families alone.
-Election year... we've got a prospective marxist/socialist as our next President on the horizon... let this go through the courts up to SCOTUS. By that time, we may have a couple more Ruths on the court.
So, CA homeschooling families find all of their options removed. Just where the teachers/unions/hillarys/moonbats wanted all of us: cornered. My husband has very little faith that enough people care to organize and fight this fascist ruling. I am fairly optimistic that this will draw even those who never utter more than a pip out of their homes. After all, by the very act of homeschooling, are these families not activist to an extent?
Also, re SB 777 - the textbook companies are watching this closely. I have read CA is the largest school textbook buyer in the country, and they influence the rest of the books. Arnold can't be president of this country, but he sure has a lot of power in that pen.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
California is the gorilla of textbook purchasers. What they want is what publishers give them **and** everyone else.
Yet,,,I am sure you have read posts from government school defenders that **their** government school is completely unaffected. ( Some even sing a Christmas carol or two!) (eyeroll)
You are correct. Schwarzenegger's poison pen will make the rest of the nation sick.
