"Over the last few weeks, the Department of Education has been characterized in some circles as being engaged in a campaign to harass home schoolers and to root out home schooling in California.
People are accusing us of trying to make all children wards of the state.
None of these charges is true, of course, but the amount of misinformation, and passion, in these communications does make me believe that the situation cries out for a legislative solution."
They're absolutely right. We really do want all children to become wards of the state, and we want you to pass a law requiring all parents to hand their kids over.
"if home schooled children ... were exempted from compulsory education laws by the mere filing of an affidavit ... then there would be potentially thousands of children in California whose education would not be subject to any supervision whatsoever."
We wouldn't be able to turn all those kids into mindless zombies. And think of all the money and power we would lose, not to mention our jobs.
