The fact is that most people are dumb as posts and have no business trying to teach anything.

It’s all about the money. California schools get money for everyday a child is in school. Has nothing to do with education. The courts have nothing to say about how a child gets educated.

“do not have a constitutional right to home school their children”

Excuse me? Our rights don’t have to be spelled out in some legal document, they merely exist. The real issue is that the GOVERMENT does not have a constitutional right to be the sole provider of education to children.

This judge should be tarred and feathered. I’ve been watching too much John Adams on HBO.

I haven’t been able to track down this information for myself yet, but James Dobson said that there were actually three judges who made this decision, and one of them was the judge in the Michael Newdow case. If I heard correctly, that judge ruled that parents have no rights once their children enter the doors of public school, and with this new ruling, parents, apparently, don’t have rights even within their own homes. Insane, but pretty much what you’d expect from leftists.

When I look at the utter incompetents the "certified" teachers crank out by the hundreds, I fail to see what harm, if any, that homeschooling can possibly have on children.

And let us not forget that parenting is the most important job in anyone's life...and it will always be left to amateurs.

Parents "do not have a constitutional right to home school their children,"

I've got a copy of the Constitution (subversive that I am, I actually own my own copy, instead of pretending that the liberals own it and get to lecture me from it). According to my copy, the government doesn't have a consitutional right to school my children either. I guess we have a stalemate.

Our oldest grandson (nine years old) is homeschooled this year for the first time. And I have the happy responsibility to teach him American history. As a result, he will know more about the Founding Fathers, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution than he would ever learn in a public school (or university).

My wife and I are in the process of adopting 2 (maybe 3) girls (if the case worker will just hurry up :) ).

My wife plans on quitting work outside the home and homeschooling.

We may have to cut back on some things, but, they will get a real education.

The courts have time and time again ruled parantage to be a constitutional right issue.

This idiotic ruling will not stand.
