In the 90s, a very similar stunt was pulled in re Homeschooling families. CA colleges were openly declaring their refusal to admit homeschooled students based on some assinine notion that the paper work would be “too messy” to sort through, further that the parents might “lie”. Considering how many generations of students of CA pub ed have been graduated despite their illiteracy, it is considered that paperwork is more important than education, obviously.
In CA, there is one detail which must be attended to, IMHE. CA has, last I read, 66 times more lawyers than all of Japan. Sure, there’s plenty of indoctrination in CA pub schools; but many parts of that indoctrination has to do with “avoidance” of lawsuits. Meaning, students learn the linguistics of nuance in order to avoid lawsuits, thereby making them “fit” for the employment world.
This was one of the more firmly held arguments against homeschoolers in the early/mid 90s. I think there is some merit to this argument.
I therefore, taught my children at home, incorporating the multi-culti/lawsuit avoidance linguistics curriculae as a part of their education. And taught to them with MY Socratic style alongside the standard, pro-constitutionalist educational material. (This is what the pub ed schools SHOULD be doing, but they don’t). Ergo, my children were educated at home with critical thinking a standard part of every moment of every day. They understood that in CA, the fascists and socialists run most shops, and the importance of learning their jargon, ends, and goals.
So. Instead of demanding teacher/parents be “credentialed”, I propose that the state come up with specifics. “Tolerance”? “Non-offensive multi-culti language sets”?
And basic understanding of math as an emotive concept?
My kids learned all these subjects and more in addition to standard liberal arts.
It has served them well. They can tell within 2 minutes of speaking with someone if the person has a “clue”. It’s been a wonderful method whereby they can tell who to maintain contact with and who not.
Again, these subjects were taught on MY terms. :)

Yes! Children need to know quickly who they will let into their inner circle of friendships!
Why is this important? The reason this is important is:
1) ALL liberals are really Marxists. Scratch a liberal and under his thin skin is a socialist. Dig a little deeper and you will soon find the Marxist nuclear fuel rods that drive everything he says and does.
2) ALL Marxists lie!
3) Anyone who is a liberal/Marxist is too stupid or evil to be a friend.
4) Finally, liberal policies are like train stops on a railway line. ALL liberal policies are merely train stops. The finally destination is MARXIST slavery!
