Homeschooling Victory in California
Back in February of this year, the California 2nd District Court of Appeals ruled that parents “do not have a constitutional right to home-school their children.” I’m thankful to say that the juvenile court handling the original case has recently dismissed it. It’s a small victory for morality (and sanity) in the United States of America.
Bruce Hausknecht, judicial analyst for Focus on the Family Action, said:
“Apparently the state decided it either didn’t want to pursue the parents or the court decided that they couldn’t pursue the parents. And so, essentially, there is no case left, no parties left for the appellate court to actually apply their decision to. But since this is California, no one quite knows for certain. So we can’t say with a hundred percent certainty that this case will go away, but we’re pretty sure it will.”
I am fairly convinced this will not be the last action taken by the California fascists against the homeschooling parents of their state. I know the liberal mind believes the State is far more qualified to educate our children than parents, so they will not likely go quietly into the night. We’ll hear from them again.
I would love to see a law enacted that would protect parents’ right to educate their children as they see fit, but I certainly don’t see that happening in California. I’ll take this one victory though. It’s a small glimmer of light in this dark, dark world.

The nanny state knows best.
I’ve taught my daughter to read and do math. After one year of public school all she’s added to this is a strong desire to recycle.
That’s so sad.
