It is very strange how some people are suspicious of home schoolers and the media tries to associate the movement with abuse. Home schoolers excel in most ways on average. Most parents that home school do so because they are more dedicated parents.
Of course home inspections is a violation of the fourth amendment (that pesky thing /s). And they are completely unnecessary. More abuse goes on in public school than home schools by far.
When horrible cases like this happen the law deals with it already. The government is not great at enforcing the law, but it is terrible at preventing people from breaking the law in the first place.
Well stated. The article is very misleading.
The real attack isn’t against “home schooling”, but against parents in general. It’s hard to home school as a single parent. This is just an extension of the attack against parenting and parental control of children. The entire purpose of the government school system is to separate children from their parent’s values and beliefs. The goal is to instill in children a love of the state and its values and beliefs.
