One of America's anti-freedom robed mullahs has spoken. Judicial activism method-of-operation BUMP!

[AD from SpringBay]

Oh no - children not subject to the state! Quick, someone write some more laws! The children must be observed by the state. They must be registered and monitored. They need protecting from their parents.

[sageb1]

"how can we not monitor the educational welfare of all our children?"

We have been and that is why we are removing them from public schools.

[mtg]

I would say sending a child to public school is far more abusive than this judge can imagine.

[Clintonfatigued]

Actually, it's a legitimate concern. The overwhelming majority of home-schoolers are motivated by a desire to ensure their childrens' well-being. But there are a few parents who do use homeschooling to cover abuse.

It is frightening to some of these would-be overlords that a few serfs might escape their brainwashing.

Missing from this story is: Are they going to appeal? Basic information.

A Superior Court judge in New Jersey says homeschooling is just about the same as deliberate child abuse.

The same case could be said of public schools that indoctinate children that homosexuality, abortion, and teen sex are okay and just a part of life.

[Soothesayer]

Common Sense:

{"In order to protect individual freedoms, the founders of our nation wanted to be sure that governmental powers did not become overly concentrated. To prevent this, they wisely split power into three branches – legislative, judicial and executive. As the founders conceived it, the judicial branch has no power to make new laws. That power belongs to the legislature working through representatives elected by the people,"}

vs the Nazis

{Wolfgang Drautz, consul general of the Federal Republic of Germany, has said that "the public has a legitimate interest in countering the rise of parallel societies that are based on religion or motivated by different worldviews and in integrating minorities into the population as a whole."}

That's all that needs to be seen.

This guy is Adolph Hitler and Josef Stalin's dream. "Your kids will attend their local re-education camps forthwith or the parents will be jailed--then the kids will attend."

Better bring the mod-squad to my house, buddy.

"A child in New Jersey, who recently was found unfed and locked in a putrid bedroom was allegedly 'homeschooled' and because no one, such as a teacher or nurse, was able to observe any abuse in a school setting, it went undiscovered," wrote Judge Thomas Zampino in a case that came before him.

Meanwhile Planned Parenthood is still the only group that seems exempt from having to report cases of child molestation to the police. Instead they destroy the evidence of the crime and enable to molestors to continue their deeds. We are told this is because a pregnant teen who is seeking an abortion may in fact be abused by someone at home and it could be "bad" for her to notify her parents.

[firewalk]

The judge, however, said he wasn't attacking homeschooling

Yes he was, and it goes much deeper than that.
He attacks the very rights of parents to raise & educate their children the way they see fit.

[GladesGuru]

Given the rising number of "teachers" in the public school systems who are found abusing their students, that a judge would assume that the chances are higher for parental abuse of that parent's children than the chances of abuse by a public school teacher, is beyond absurd.

Give that judge an AGENDA UBER ALLES! award.

Better yet - give JudgiePooh a Plexiglass Navel award. That should help shine light on his future rulings.

Zampino's bio is hidden. Clinton appointee, I'd bet.

Michael Farris, cofounder of the HSLDA, has called for an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to protect the right of parents to educate their children at home, in light of such developments in Europe.

I was wondering what "the boys" were up to with all of these "sky is falling" homeschooling stories...

Remember when they started publishing a bunch of dire tales before they came in and messed with the Michigan law?

Michael is becoming downright predictable!!! LOL

I support homeschooling. Bigetime. But does anyone other than me, think this is a little over the top?

[Robert A Cook PE]

Follow the money: School districts get MONEY per kid for each day they attend. Homeschooling = loss of THEIR money.

Loss of control. Liberals HATE the idea of not having thought control.

(In this case, the divorced parents wants to hurt the mother as well.)


And just who appointed this judge?

[loboinok]

The Founders' intent for impeachment was to protect the fundamental principle of “the consent of the governed.” The Constitution carries no title but “We the People,” and impeachment removes from office those officials who ignore that standard. (Recall that the Constitution does not guarantee a federal judge his position for life, but only for the duration of “good behavior.” Art. III, Sec. 1)
