“”No, it’s not. It’s wrong to force people to pay taxes and then deny them the use of the services they’ve paid for.””

I agree.

But if you are employed, try to get food stamps or welfare or unemployment. To get government services, you must follow the rules.

The problem is not as shallow as people think. The problem is that the services are tied to public schools.

Public schools are a place for indoctrination, free food and free condoms. They are not only obsolete but do more harm than good. They should be abolished.

This issue is merely one brick in the wall, and a small one at that. It does not affect many students. But it does shed just a little more light on the bigger problem.

Not only must homeschoolers pay school taxes, but homeschooling is regulated in the state of NY. It's my understanding that NY homeschoolers are required to submit forms and report to their school districts.

If you're denied food stamps, the state doesn't require you to complete forms showing that you're eating and feeding your children certain foods according to the state's schedule. If homeschoolers must follow the rules of the school district, the district needs to kick in with some services.
