O.K., silly me, I was hoping that the hysteria wouldn't reach this far <g>

The California case is about ONE family who has been in the Family Law
courts for TWENTY years over sexual and physical abuse of their children.
Daddy Dearest refused, yet again, to abide by the rules the court set
down -- 1) update the homeschooling texts from the 70s to current materials
and 2) have the local school district review and help, if needed, to bring
the curriculum into line with the DOE. Mom got newer workbooks but Daddy
Dearest refused to meet with the local school principal. He also kicked the
social worker out of the house. He refused to come up with a birth
certificate on one of the children who was in foster care. He hid the wife
and kids. He generally made some simple stuff beyond difficult. The judge
got bent out of shape and said put the two kids remaining in the home in
public school or they can go into foster care with the older daughter who
had filed the complaint about physical abuse by Daddy Dearest and sexual
abuse by Daddy Dearest good friend Lynn C. A good friend who had been
accused of sexually abusing another one of the daughters 10 or 15 years
prior to this.

Even the do nothing governor has stated that this will not effect
homeschoolers and if anyone tries he'll shove legislation through to make
schooling choice law.

This whole hysteria thing is being fueled by a membership drive by that
IDIOT Mike Farris and H$LDA and that sicko Dobson!

California homeschooling is alive and well and not going to disappear. AND,
teacher credentials won't be required for the simple reason that the judge
doesn't even know how to read California law. California doesn't require
teaching credential for parents who do teaching in California public schools
and if the ruling is allowed to stand it will necessitate the hiring of
hundreds, if not a thousands, more teachers and effectively bankrupt the
state! California has about 100,000 students in charter ISPs, brick and
mortar ISPs and charter cyber schools, plus the 200,000 homeschoolers all of whom would need to have a teacher hired! That would be about 100,000 new teachers at $120,000/year (salary, bennies, per diem for travel time) for a total of $12,000,000,000/year. Ain't gonna happen!

Lynda, supremely tired of H$LDA's fearmongering!

Yet more proof of the political abuse of public education:

And in California:

"Parents who lack teaching credentials cannot educate their children
at home, according to a state appellate court ruling that is sending
waves of fear through California's home schooling families. . . ."
