DOJ: Government Has Right to Ban Home Schooling Don't individual states make the laws prescribing schools and truancy? What business does the Dept of inJustice have with it?

Please note: The government has NO rights.
A right is something the government cannot take away. The government cannot take things away from itself.
The government has powers - some it exercises and some it does not.

"To assert that this family has a so-called 'human right' to escape from a jurisdiction that imposes a collective vision over their individualist vision unfairly denigrates the state's interests.
Chilling. A far cry from the day we all cheered East German border guard Conrad Schumann and his "individualist vision" as he leaped over the last rapidly closing gap in the Berlin wall to freedom. We all will come to rue the day we permitted the land of the free to become the home of the collective.

Where the boundary lies between parental authority and state authority is a matter of law. The state's interest in promoting a child's socialization as a participant in the collective body of the nation's people is just as valid as a parent's desire to promote his values and beliefs. To assert that this family has a so-called 'human right' to escape from a jurisdiction that imposes a collective vision over their individualist vision unfairly denigrates the state's interests. The biggest load of statolotry[see bullsh@t] I have ever heard.
I guess the jews had no, so called, "human right" to refuse to have the German government's collective will imposed on them.
Secondly, the state has no interests. Only individuals can will and have interests. It is imposing the interests of the individuals in power over the individuals subjected to it.

This is insulting - in every possible way. Socialization? REALLY? Homeschool kids are on the whole much better socialized and adaptable than the robots who can only related to people within a few months of their exact age....what a bunch of ignoramuses our Eric Holder DOJ is. Awful. Evil. Retarded.

“Not so, said a brief filed by the US Department of Justice”
You would, ya wart.
So, was Abraham Lincoln illegal for sitting at home schooling himself?
Oh, we didn’t have universal compulsory education then?
Point made. It’s a natural right.

I know that author writes satire a lot - but wow, this is not what I’d call very good satire. It’s not funny. It’s not distinguishable. I realize liberals are becoming beyond satire, as their real actions are more absurd than fiction....but geez....satire is a delicate and risky art....

Really wish “(satire)” or some such would be headlined in these things.
This was too believable, again.

What’s SCARY is that is doesn’t need to be a satire! It’s believable as Hell from this DOJ and Big Brother in general regardless of who’s in charge.

F’ing Communists.

OK, hook, line and sinker.
But you have to admit, it’s gotten to the point you can’t tell satire from the real thing.

DOJ: Government Has Right to Ban Home SchoolingThe government has no rights other than what the citizens of this nation designate. None, IMHO.

When schools were first started - and I am not going to give a date here, which would be wrong, knowing me — they came after recalcitrant citizens HERE IN THE US with guns.

“By 1900, 34 states had compulsory schooling laws, 4 of which were in the South. 30 states with compulsory schooling laws required attendance until age 14 (or higher). As a result, by 1910, 72 percent of American children attended school. Half the nation’s children attended one-room schools. In 1918, every state required students to complete elementary school.” from Wikipedia.
