[OK]

. I DO NOT and WILL NOT register my children with the State.

The definition of a pioneer is a guy with an arrow in his back. Defying a state truancy law is risky business.

North Carolina has a relatively good homeschool system. I wish you would reconsider, because that kind of behavior can give the rest of us problems. All you have to do is send in a one page form, then give an annual mail in achievement test. That is not exactly tyrannical. If the State finds out you are unregistered it could get pretty nasty for you.

The problem is that the statute (though it is nonconstitutional) makes homeschools private schools subject to the state legislations. Additionally, last year the Federal Courts ruled that if a state receives ANY federal money for education then the state and all schools under the states jurisdiction MUST abide by any stipulation the Feds make whether the individual school receives the money or not.

I also own at least one firearm :) which would violate federal law about having a gun within 1000 yards of a school, though it has not been enforced (yet), it does not mean they can't use it as a tool at their convienience.

A little tyranny, a lot of tyranny, in this instance, I am right, and am willing to fight it all the way and then some if neccessary.
