The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. - Ayn Rand

You need to start “educating” them early, every secular socialist knows that. Homeschooling is a back-door way where families, communities or certain subcultures can keep out the message. It's not about what the kid knows, how well they perform on standardized tests, or the fact that they behave better, have less run ins with the law etc. It's about “what” they learn in addition to math, science, and English etc., even though that's not the official statement.

[TruthConquers]

That is what I want to know.

What I do know is that homeschooling is done under the SAME laws as private schools. So, it seems to me, (I’m no lawyer) that, yes, they are in danger too.

As to creating private schools, this family was in one, an ISP, one that the judge ruled that they were to be banned from. That there then made them “illegal”. I saw on another thread that this school HAS been in compliance for 20 years.

This is a power grab. Plain and simple.

I've been wanting to create a 100% on-line home school program similar to how University of Phoenix or other on-line, accredited Universities work. It could have multiple state accreditations, so if one State has problems, such as California, it would be recognized in more favorable States, such as Texas.

Now where do we apply for capital from the Gate's foundation?

Born in 1933. That means he’s old. Very old. GOOD. ;-)

I just got on to Sean Hannity and the call screener said he doesn’t want to talk about this. What a tool.

[mnehring]

Is he pushing for Rudy to be VP or something?

How can the government dumb-down impresionable children if they are being home schooled? Give the commies a chance...

Really, if California was not a fellow state in our union I would call for military intervention. Maybe I should anyway? That place is downright dangerous.

“Croskey refers to the “ruse of enrolling [children] in a private school and then letting them stay home and be taught by a non-credentialed parent.””

I’ll translate this into back room liberal speak:

Old man Croskey says a scam is being run by christian schools to let uneducated christian parents lock their kids up in the house all day teaching them anti-gay christian values.

[mad_as_he$$]

YES- GREAT IDEA -all Kalifornia’s go to Arizona when you leave. Nevada sucks don't come here.

[Digital Sniper]

No. Not all Californians. Just the home-schooling ones. We don’t want the liberals any more than Nevada does.

We’re from the gubmint, we’re here to help.

[kingattax]

lol...i hear ya

[Anti-Bubba182]

Won’t work. There are too many radical mandates in the system, “Heather has Two Mommies”, etc.

[mnehring]

Texas is FRiendly, we have lots of land, no State income tax, and low cost of living.

[I still care]

And so it begins. CA is just the start. I’ve been warning of this.

If Hillary or Obama get in, expect this all over the nation. We will be like Germany, throwing homeschoolers into mental clinics because they must be “unbalanced” to have such suspicion of public schools.

The democrats are willing tools fo the NEA and teachers unions. They salivate over controlling your children.

[musicman]

Well this should get parents off the hook from having to read all those "lesson filled" bedtime stories asked of them by their kids, by telling them they will be considered "teaching" and will be arrested if they do or try.

(...ok....sarcasm off thingee goes in this spot....)

[indcons]

Outrageous ruling by the goons in CA.
