So let me just get this straight...
In Kalifornia, parents have the right to KILL their children, but not to EDUCATE them.
Sure, why not. Makes sense to me./s
Just to be clear: even the lower court whose ruling was overturned, acknowledged that "the home schooling the children were receiving was 'lousy,' 'meager,' and 'bad.'"
Nor should we ignore the genesis of this case, which had to do with accusations of abuse by the father ... made by one of the kids.
So ... it's best to look to the whole story here.
OBTW: if you actually read The Court's Opinion, you will discover an interesting thing: they're basing their ruling on long-established California laws. It's the opposite of "judicial activism."
Now, if you want to make this a springboard to change California law, that would be great.
But the mouth-foamers hereabouts seem bound and determined to excoriate the court for following the laws AS WRITTEN. I guess some folks only disagree with judicial activism when it goes the other way.
