I agree with your sentiment in spirit; but the reality is that "they" are much better endowed with time and funds and the cudgel of "made-up de-facto law" in their favor: I've seen some homeschoolers thwarted when their rightious battle with "them" took up more time than they could give to their students. I cannot say it was wise. You gotta figure out what the priority is. Often, the avoidance of an assaultive thrust is beneficial to the defender: the antoginist is carried off-balance by his own momentum. Just a side-step. Not a defeat. A child, educated to his or her natural capacity , is the triumph.

Consider the tales of slaves learning to read in secret. A legacy was established under the oppression of the masters....without a direct confrontation...which the slaves would have assuredly lost.

Am I saying we are slaves? Well, think about it.

Work to keep the lagacy alive first, and fight the battle with the masters when prudent and profitable.

Liberty is the cart: education, the horse.

My opinion.
