OK, the law in California is wrong. So change the law.

Agreed. That absolutely needs to be done. All anti-homeschooling laws need to be struck down.

Or do you think it better that judges should be allowed to re-write the law to suit your idea of what's right?

Answer me this question: Do parents have a God-given right to educate their children as they best see fit?

Not only no, but Hell No. They don't, for example, have a "God-given right" to decide that their children need to be educated as terrorists.

What parents really have, is a responsibility to ensure that their childred receive a valid and reasonable education, so that they can properly function in the real world. Not only the kids, but you and I also, suffer if they are illiterate, or so ignorant that they cannot behave properly within our society.

And I notice you didn't answer my question -- which of course you can't without also endorsing judicial activism such as occurred in Roe vs. Wade. But then, you realized that, didn't you?
