The the judge should have confined his opinions to the issue of filling out the paperwork properly. Unfortunately, his opinions are directed at homeschooling in a global way.
I read his opinion. Scary! If you ask me!
If this is the case then I stand by my Friday rants about California's poorly written homeschooling code.
As an outsider to the California homeschooling issue, I examined some of California's homeschooling code, deciding it to be badly written and ambiguous. The truth of the matter is that anybody can read anything that they want into poorly written code, the judges having the upper hand in this case. In other words, California's poorly written homeschooling code was a lose canon just waiting to be bumped in the right way and go off, which it has.
So instead of blaming the judges for their badly written code, Californians need to quit sitting on their hands and use their voting muscle to clean up the code, in my opinion.
As a side note, when the USSC decided against Georgia in Chisholm v. Georgia, 1793, the states retaliated against the USSC by making the 11th Amendment. Again, Californian's should perhaps retaliate against anti-homeschooling judges by cleaning up their dirty homeschooling code.
