You are ignoring the fact that the state has custody (right or wrong) of these kids. Unless a higher court can show that granting that custody was flawed, the state can now dictate what kind of education they get. The state has already won the first battle getting a court to give it custody. That's why I believe the parents went too far in this case. If that hadn't happened, the state wouldn't be FORCING education on the family. So the issue here is whether the state should have custody and not whether it should be dictating, or FORCING education on them.

The State cannot FORCE education, some weird "educational neglect" custody or not.

I think the state will back way down. They do not want this thing to go to a higher court. If it did the concept of "educational neglect" based on arbitrary standards and legal custody on that sole count will be found unconstitutional.
