California Home Schooling shut down

This shouldn't surprise any of us here. We have seen this type of slow erosion of our rights go on for far to long. We can not continue to allow this or before you know it you will have a black bag over your head and will never be seen again.

Family member homeschooler in California had jumped on the Ron Paul bandwagon big time. Wonder how many of them did not? Bet they wished they had now.

that this is posted the day after it was announced that California is so far off of budget that they are laying off MASSIVE amounts of teachers and cutting many school programs. The state can not afford to educate our kids, and they have restricted our rights to educate them ourselves... what are we suppose to do?

Did you all read the comments under the article? I expected folks to be up in arms! Instead they were saying, Just get the credentials, what’s the big deal or were derogatory toward home schooling.

Did you catch the blip about parental rights (rather loss of privilege). In addition to the frankness about educating loyality to the state.

"California courts have held that ... parents do not have a constitutional right to home school their children," Justice H. Walter Croskey

Oh, sorry but the GOVERNMENT is limited by the Constitution – not the people. Yes, we as sovereign individuals have the every unalienable right to rear our children. Sorry, the collective majority, non-profit organization, teachers union, courts and state; still lack the capacity to assend in authority above that of the creator. If the father physically harmed his child then press charges. Otherwise, in my judgment from the a previous California State ruling (below) a child would be better off home schooled then subjected to the material Palmdale Public Schools and the court find to be suitable subject matter for 6, 8 and 10 year old children.

“When a few parents in Palmdale, California learned that their children’s school had permitted researchers to interview first, third and fifth grade students about such things as sexual urges and fantasies, they became outraged and took the matter to court.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals heard the case and concluded that when parents place their children in a public school, they forfeit any right to determine what or how their children are taught. The school may teach anything it wishes in any way it wishes. It may allow researchers, special interests, social activists, and anyone else it chooses access to students. The court’s decision confirmed earlier court opinions.”

Hmmm… what do you think the courts would have done if the “research” material would have been reversed.

"the primary purpose .... is loyalty to the state and nation as a means of protecting public welfare."

thats scary. Sounds like they dont want any individualism or self thinkers.

My four years in high school was a waste. What I learned in that 4 years, I should have learned in 6 months.

I might have to move to another state now.

Should the government be permitted to remove children forcibly from their homes, with or without the parents consent and subject the children to educational training and procedures of which the parents may or may not approve?

Should citizens have their wealth expropriated to support an educational system which they may or may not sanction, and to pay for an educational system of children that are not their own?

To anyone who undrstands and is consistently committed to the principles of individual rights, the answer is clearly:NO.

to Oregon from CA two years ago. I am a homeschooling mother of one and I can't imagine being forced to put my child in a crappy public school that will fill his mind with lies. This happening in CA makes me really sad, I feel terrible for those poor parents.

has to be qwelled.

Can't have independent thinkers running around.

are they even ready for the influx of children?
