Wow. Five million dollars a year, to catch what - a tiny handful of offenders, and given the scrupulosity of the law, it's probably easy to fall afoul of it. Of those offenders I would hazard that perhaps one or two are TRUE truants - thus the state has spent five million dollars in one year to catch an infinitesmal # of real no-schoolers. Incredible.

We have documented that the present law is keeping families from moving here and making some leave...obviously, they think these would be strong families with philosophical or religious convictions that would align them with conservatism and Republican perspective...this is why they spend so much taxpayer money on this discrimination. What the DNC/NEA opposition doesn't understand is that the homeschool community is varied and broad in outlook and they also are inhibiting their own demographic growth. I know many, many, homeschoolers who voted for Bush because his platform was pro HS and often it was the first time in their lives that they voted Republican.
