I offered the words of John Adams in the Massachusetts Constitution as proof that the founding fathers of Massachusetts intended for the government to promote education for all citizens

You have provided just that. Proof that the founding fathers of Massachusetts intended for the government to promote education for all citizens. NOT FORCE.

Please provide proof that the Founding Father advocated FORCED education.

Waltham parents' hearing benched: Homeschooled kids stay put ***"The number one guidance that the DOE provides is for parents to get their curriculum approved by the school committee in the district," said Heidi Perlman, spokeswoman for the DOE. "The school committee must approve the curriculum before it is deemed as acceptable."

……….The parents have been ruled unfit because they did not file educational plans or determine a grading system for the children, two criteria of Waltham's homeschooling policy.***

It looks like no one is going to back down. If they take the kids, this will blow up in the state's face.
