Eastin's home-school invasion

California's Superintendent of Public Instruction Delaine Eastin apparently believes that the thousands of California parents who home-school their children should be given a stark choice: Send their kids to public schools or to state-approved private schools, or face charges and, at worst, maybe even have their children placed in protective custody.

Chalk it up to ideology....

These so-called democrats are communists, pure and simple. Anything outside indoctrination by the state is not to be tolerated. We've got to get rid of these terrorists come November. If they win again by, complicity, subversion or worse - just plain ignorance, California is essentially done for.

This is one of those lines in the sand that, once crossed, means that it's time for the rifle behind the door.

Tuchman says it's ironic that Eastin insists that home-school parents have a teaching credential. Tuchman sued Eastin, who lacks a teaching credential, after Eastin called herself a teacher on the ballot. And a large percentage of teachers in California's public school systems are not credentialed. Perhaps those classrooms should be shut down also.

Perhaps Eastin should step down, it seems that placing this demand on homeschoolers seems a bit hypocritical.

Why on earth are they going after something which is a non-problem? They should be concentrating on real problems, such as academic performance.

Send their kids to public schools or to state-approved private schools, or face charges and, at worst, maybe even have their children placed in protective custody.

You want to deal with illiteracy? Put the illiterates in lengthy remedial programs after school. Attendance is mandatory. Excessive truancy or a lack of reasonable progress will resort in them being made wards of the court and their freedom taken away with their release conditioned on academic performance.

You have chronic behavioral problems which you can't get resolution to beyond expelling the student. You make them wards of the state and take away their freedom with their release conditioned on academic performance. Chronic under achievement same thing. Once they reach the age of 18 you release them of course.

This is rather Draconian but it would get better results then what they're getting now.

It seems to me that homeschooling is already in the public domain. The barn door is wide open. We've already escaped the clutches of the NEA. It would be a different story if the public schools offered superior education. In that case we never would've pulled our kids out.

Home schoolers in California have a real battle ahead with this despot in power. I'm just glad I live in Oklahoma, where "alternative education" is part of the constitution.

First Question. Who has done more to destroy liberty in America, Osama Bin Ladin, or the Democratic (communist) party? Second question. Who is America's greatest enemy, Osama Bin Ladin or the Democratic (communist) party? Granted, Osama is a more immediate threat because he blows things up and kills people but the Democratic (communist) party is every bit as evil and a thousand times the threat than Osama, Sadam, and all of the terrorists put together. I think Chiang Kai Shek said it best when asked in WW-2 why he concentrated on fighting the communists instead of the Japanese. His reply was, "The Japanese are a disease of the skin, the communists are a disease of the soul." The same holds true today. Osama and international terrorism is a disease of the skin, the Democratic (communist} party is a disease of the soul. America and her traditional culture, its government as the founding fathers created it, has to be looked at, as a ship sailing on an eternal sea, while the members of the democratic (communist) party, resemble wood worms, relentlessly eating away at the keel. Either the wood worms are eliminated, or the ship sinks, never to sail again.

So, Eastin isn't credentialed and even lied about it? How ironic is that? LOL
