COLUMBUS, Ohio – An Ohio state senator recently introduced a bill that would have forced homeschoolers to undergo government investigation, but promised on Thursday to withdraw the legislation following widespread criticism.

Democratic Senator Capri Cafaro has represented the 32nd Ohio Senate District since January 2007. Earlier this month, Cafaro introduced to the Ohio legislature Senate Bill 248 (SB 248), which would have amended the state’s education policy toward homeschoolers and internet-based schools.

It’s pushback like there was pushback when the APA tried to make pedophilia a “sexual orientation” and with what recently happened to Phil Robertson. In this terrible Obamanation we’re living in, it’s nice to get some good news.

He’ll look for a way to sneak it in hidden in some bill.

It's a her and this is no real victory for home schoolers. The seed has been planted. I guarantee this comes back.

“After consultation with Teddy’s family,” Cafaro’s statement explained, “we have collectively decided the best course of action is for me to withdraw SB 248, and instead pursue a more comprehensive approach to address the current challenges in the state’s social service and criminal justice system. …

So, she consulted with the very people responsible for Teddy's death to decide whether to pull the bill. She's a whack job.
