A homeschooling mom in Utah has been ordered by a judge to enroll her children in a public school district within 24 hours, and have them in class tomorrow"

Or else!

[Popman]

and the judge initially wanted to issue an order that she was not allowed to move out of his jurisdiction for two years.

If this is true, the judge is clearly out of control power hungry jurist

[ontap]

Another idiot judge enforcing his personal agenda.

We’re from the government, we’re here to help.

>> It seems that an affidavit she faxed to the local school district for the 2006-2007 school year, documenting her homeschooling plans, was lost by the district.

Just an honest mistake on the school's part. </sarcasm>. A hard way to learn that ALL legal documents need to generate a paper trail when they change hands.

So when she went to court with her juvenile son to have the charges dismissed (under a case held in abeyance procedure) stemming from a clash among children, she suddenly was presented with four counts against her for failing to comply with the state's compulsory education requirement.

I'm not sure we're getting the whole story here. It sounds as if she came to the attention of the juvenile justice system because her son got in trouble with the law, and then they wondered why he wasn't in school.

Does anyone know "the rest of the story"?

[TWohlford]

The mom’s story doesn’t pass the sniff test.

Sorry, but I don’t buy this story. I’m betting there is another side to this story.

[frankenMonkey]

Heck, this is nuthin. In Utah, we usually like to execute our home schoolers.

This is outrageous. Hopefully HSLDA will get involved and this will be resolved quickly.

She said she had received a confirmation the fax to the school was received when she sent it, but likes to clean out her paperwork before the start of a new school year, and apparently had disposed of it.

OK, big mistake. I never throw anything out that pertains to homeschooling. Although from the sound of things, she wouldn't have much sway with this judge if she did have it.

[free_life]

Yep, Land of the Free.

[free_life]

What would happen if she and her children crossed the state line into a free state? Are there any free states left?

[free_life]

Needs a bump

[Kevmo]

This is a glimpse of things to come, except there won’t be paperwork snafus.

As WND has reported, German authorities operating under the law stemming from Hitler's desire to control the minds of youth have ruled not only that homeschooling is a basis for child endangerment charges, but a local government was remiss in allowing a mother to take her two children to another country where homeschooling is legal.

After so many years of knowing better, I still went and read WND and then I came to this.
