<! created by lms> States Begin Crack Down on Home Schooling Home schoolers have long held the belief that if they received exemptions from the education laws being put in place at the state and federal level, they could safely teach their children at home without government interference. A good example of this is the exemption home schoolers achieved to HR 6 in 1994 and ESSHB 1209 bringing education reform to Washington State in 1993. What home schoolers did not know, however, is that education reform was instituted to bring education into coalescence with systems governance, and under systems governance, all really does mean all — no one can be exempted from inclusion in the system. That includes home schoolers. Home schoolers believed the exemptions would protect them. A good example is the home schoolers in California. For years they have existed under the private schooling laws. Now, California is cracking down on home schoolers in order to bring them into the system. In other states that have home school laws, the matter of bringing home schoolers under the umbrella of systems education and government control will be as easy as requiring a certificate of mastery in order for the child to get a job, a drivers license, or go on to higher education. We are already seeing signs of that happening in Washington State. No doubt it is, or will, happen in other states with home school laws as well. Home schoolers have not been exempted from the system, they have only been exempted from the laws putting the system in place. Following are links to other articles concerning what is being done to force home schoolers back into the system. Links:
Home-schoolers to be denied diplomas (Massachussetts)
I have underlined the key sentance, where the coercive powers of the State are cited as the likely areas of attack by the Edu-Marxists. But what is interesting to me, is that these very items they would deny U.S. citizens who were home schooled, we have a whole raft of left wing politicians who are willy-nilly offering all of these 'benefits' or as they put it 'RIGHTS' to outright ILLEGAL ALIENS who have little or no U.S. education whatsoever. This contradictory posture by the Left needs to be flagged and highlighted.
