I don't have kids in school, but this would be done ("...take your kids if I want to.") over my dead body...and maybe his.

We've been homeschooling for years. Only way to go.

Amen.

So liberals defend a woman's right to kill her child, but not the right to educate the child at home?
Public schools are government indoctrination camps.

Perhaps they should answer the knock at the door shotgun in hand?

Klicka said that if a superintendent had evidence that a family is lying or is fraudulent, he should refer it to the prosecutor, but "this superintendent is thinking, 'I've got to approve the curriculum, I've got to check up on the parents.'" They already have the power to test. That's a lot of power. If the child fails a test, then look into the cirriculum.

If the kids have been doing well in the tests, the parents should sue that turkey personally. He would then be abusing his power.

Maybe the American Nazis would back off if some more people felt as you did.

For freedom.

Since they want to close down all home schools without credentialed teachers I guess the reverse should be also true, all public schools with uncredentialed teachers should be shut down and all tax money used in the "illegal" school should be returned. That should eliminate about 90% of goobermint schools.
Since when did the government get the right to dictate to parents what type of school the parents will provide. Who died and made them the guardians of the children?

Perhaps this socialist clerk should be reminded that Parents do not bear children for the State. He will have to move to a communist country for that power.

Having home schooled for the past 14 years or so, we have seen or heard it all. My hat is off to these families for sticking to their convictions. We have found there are two types of home school families. Those who do it for convenience, and those who are convicted to home educate their children in their heart. The latter have a much greater success ratio than do the former.

This is way out of line. You dont send cops like that and threaten to take the children away. Unless these people were involved in raising a gang... but then, what is these Palestinian like schools are doing by coercing kids into sex/gay lifestyles... The cops are banging at the wrong doors and they are working for a rotten school superintendent with conflicts of interests. Since when cops took sides here? I smell homeschoolers profiling.

I was worried about how much static I would get from my ex (a cop) when I brought up homeschooling to him. He was all for it. He told me to go for it; he didn't want our kids going to school with the kids of the folks he has to deal with on a daily basis.

No, but Bruce Dennison's family should learn that poking your nose where it does not belong has backsplash. One wonders if any of them uses drugs, has bad credit, has an unusual sex life, employs a wetback to clean their house, etc. Inquiring minds want to know!
Northeast Illinois has a limited set of options if you get yourself a reputation.

A public school superintendent has sent police in squad cars to the houses of homeschooling families to deliver his demand that they appear for a "pre-trial hearing" to prove they are in compliance with the law. How much longer before the male members of these homeschooling families start "showing up" at the doors of these corrupt and tyrannical public school leaders and those who choose to be their willing lapdogs?
