What's amazing is that the ranting about this ruling ignores the fact that the Court ruled strictly according to the laws as written, coupled with long-standing precedent. There's no judicial activism involved.
But ... just as in so many other cases ... there are folks who would rather rant than change the laws.

NO, not really. There is other settled law regarding homeschooling that this judge totally ignored. Homeschooling is legal in this state.
The problem is that this family has had problems with the CPS for the last 20 years. This case was more about the abuse than it was about homeschooling. The judge MADE it to be about homeschooling. That is activism in my book. He also BANNED them from the ISP that they were using, that would make anyone automatically illegal right away. He made them illegal, by his own order. No activism, yeah right.
What troubles me as a homeschooler is that the private school option is also used by ANY private school in this state. I wonder, is this to eradicate ALL private schooling in this state? Requiring teaching credentials would effect all private schools because in California it is not required to teach in a private school.
This one smells to heaven of activism.
