I’m not a lawyer, but it appears to me that homeschooling should not be “imperiled” in Cali or any state.

In Pierce, the State of Oregon, whipped into an anti-Catholic and anti-immigrant frenzy, closed all private schools and required all children in the State to attend public school. The Supreme Court held this unconstitutional, and held that parents had a right to send their children to private parochial schools. Although there is certainly some language in Pierce that would support the right to home-school, technically, the issue of home-schooling was not before the Court.

California Dems Introduce Bill To Allow Communist Indoctrination in Public Schools

Little Green Footballs ^ | 3-06-08 | Charles Johnson

Yes, that’s right. The headline is no exaggeration. California Democratic Sen. Alan Lowenthal has proposed an amendment to the Educational Code that will explicitly allow the promotion of Communism in schools, and also allow groups who want to violently overthrow the US government to meet on public school property.

Regardless, compulsory schooling violates "the liberty of parents to direct the upbringing and education of children," since only parents who can afford to pay twice for their child's education (once through taxes and once through tuition) enjoy the liberty of directing their child's education.

Secondly, compulsory attendance laws and godless government schools combine to severely restrict the "free exercise of religion" that is guaranteed US citizens under the First Amendment.

Yes, government schooling is wildly unconstitutional, but no one is really interested. It's more about free babysitting.
