Michigan’s AG wants illegal searches of homeschool families

Leftist indoctrination is too difficult when parents educate their own children.

Is the U.S. legal system even guided by the rule of law anymore? More and more, we are seeing stories that the agencies like the FBI, IRS, and Department of Justice have been weaponized against conservatives. Liberal prosecutors and district attorneys are no longer even pretending to be unbiased.

Now, public schools have been a bastion for liberal indoctrination for far too long. Our students don’t learn how to read, multiply, or even think, but they can tell you about climate change, transgenderism, and abortion in great detail, even if they are parroting their teachers’ talking points.

That is why charter school students, homeschool students, and even students whose parents were able to choose the public school to send their students to do better. Parents choose education. The education system chooses indoctrination.

Recently, it seems the education system is getting frustrated with not being able to indoctrinate every student in the country. In Michigan, the state board of education has been discussing the possibility of using warrantless searches against homeschool families in the state.

To their credit, the board of education isn’t on board with the idea...yet. It was presented by Michigan attorney general Dana Nessel. “She basically said, we want this list so that we can have unwarranted home entry, without a warrant. Warrantless home entry into homeschool,” board member Tom McMillin said.

Why do they want to do this? Because the state wants to inspect homeschooling homes.

In our legal system, you need proof that is presented to a judge of a crime happening in a home. Then the judge will sign off on a warrant that states what law enforcement can search for in the home.

END?

I think not.

JBT to neighbor: Where’s that Jones family? Their son didn’t report at school as ordered!

Jones family neighbor: They moved during the summer. To Arkansas they said.

“Jones family neighbor: They moved during the summer. To Arkansas they said.”

It’s like guns, when the left gets power, sure, you can keep your gun, BUT...
1. Don’t be seen with it in public
2. Likewise don’t go to the range
3. Don’t have it visible if you open your front door
4. Don’t tell your kid you have it
5. Don’t tell your girlfriend or wife (future ‘ex’)
6. Don’t tell your friends unless you really trust them
7. Don’t tell any strangers, can be undercover
8. Don’t say a word about them on line.
9. Don’t use them in self-defense, unless it’s worth 10 years in jail to protect yourself and/or your property

Similar with home schooling, except you have additional risks:
1. Grandparents can report you.
2. Neighbors, if they can see your kids during the day
3. Doctors will always ask questions
4. When databases start getting compared it may be a problem. For example, the Child Tax Credit is very helpful, but you’re also telling the feds, and often the state, that you have kids - need to think about that too.

But one thing that I do agree with you on - which is that home schoolers should NEVER report what they’re doing to the government. Make them find you, and they’re not going to throw you in jail for a first-time violation (you can claim ignorance) - have a good cover story for the neighbors - find a private school 20 miles away and say your kids go there. Also, your advice about moving out of state is good as states don’t usually squeal to each other, but towns/cities in the same state are much more likely to. And if you move far enough away in the same state, you may well be able to convince the neighbors and any nosy schools that you are actually out of state.
