This is a great victory. In 1980, home-schooling was illegal or very restricted in all states. Under 30,000 kids were home schooled. Today, it is legal in every state.

State public school officials are trying to make it illegal in CA. I read somewhere that CA has about 120,000 home schoolers. I don't think the school officials will win in the long run, but I expect homeschoolers there will have a battle on their hands.

"Today, it is legal in every state."

Parental rights are still being trampled upon in many regions though. Many states have the HSer under the control and management of the local school district which is ludicrous considering the NEA affiliation(NEA has an official anti HSing policy) inherent in these districts. This is institutional discrimination and it is evident in the number of cases HSLDA has represented.
