Here we go again.......
I would love to compare these Home-schooled kid’s scores on basic aptitude tests compared to their public school counterparts.
FYI
He could have been our first "black" president. I tried.
I don’t understand why the judge was ruling on anything at all. What action was before him and who brought it?
Usually the HSLDA is involved in cases like this. I havent heard anything from them, yet.
bump and *ping*
Further confirming that “no” for any potential move to NC.
When to comes to raising children, Mothers know best.
In a divorce proceeding the father is against homeschooling.

The judge, when contacted by WND, explained his goal in ordering the children to register and attend a public school was to make sure they have a “more well-rounded education.”
“I thought Ms. Mills had done a good job [in homeschooling],” he said. “It was great for them to have that access, and [I had] no problems with homeschooling. I said public schooling would be a good complement.”
The judge said the husband has not been supportive of his wife’s homeschooling, and “it accomplished its purposes. It now was appropriate to have them back in public school.”
Mangum said he made the determination on his guiding principle, “What’s in the best interest of the minor children,” and conceded it was putting his judgment in place of the mother’s.
And he said that while he expressed his opinion from the bench in the court hearing, the final written order had not yet been signed.
However, the practice of a judge replacing a parent’s judgment with his own regarding homeschooling was argued recently when a court panel in California ruled that a family would no longer be allowed to homeschool their own children.
>>I can’t understand why this man cannot get elected to something,........ anything. He sounds radical to most people because he has “founding father” type qualities. Isn’t that desirable in a candidate today?

I have always admired Dr. Keyes. He is not afraid to speak out on what he thinks is right, and that rubs a lot of people the wrong way. The last 20 years really haven’t been kind to Keyes, since he worked for the Reagan White House, but hopefully, now the time is right for someone like him who is not afraid to speak up for what he thinks is right. I’ll support him all the way.
FWIW, that web site is tremendous and I have been reading it everyday for the last few weeks.
It seems the dad is driving this. The judge is also the judge handling the parent’s divorce.
I think it is growing less & less to our credit all the time.
“Parents will be required, without exception to surrender their children for indoctrination by the state.”
At which point, “parents will be required” to “shoot the bastards that show up on the doorstep to enforce this action.”
Judge orders homeschoolers into public district classrooms
Decides children need more 'focus' despite testing above grade levels
From what I recall it’s a divorce and one partner is now opposed to home schooling. No doubt because it limits time with the children.
I am not surprised at all of this. I attended private schools most of my life except my freshman year in high school (due to a move). I was put in all the advanced classes, yet I recall that most of what was taught I already studied in the fifth or sixth grade in private schools.
I think his eloquence and passion scare most people. Just as Reagan scared many people, I don’t think the average voter will ever give him a shot at anything. Even many Freepers here will pile onto him if he ever gets a foothold in Federal politics. He lives in Chicago, so he is in conservative oblivion. He ran against Obama for Senate and I don’t think he got 30%. That’s a modern day “George Washington” against a mental midget and we get the midget.
