Homeschooling in California to be made illegal?

Will California Jail Homeschooling Parents?
Posted by Christopher Manion at 01:43 PM
Hey, why not? They're anti-social, aren't they?

The California Court of Appeals thinks parents aren't willing to meet a "primary purpose of the educational system," which is:

"to train school children in good citizenship, patriotism and loyalty to the state and the nation as a means of protecting the public welfare."

Of course, this could have appeared verbatim in the Constitution of the German Democratic Republic. Or, if that doesn't scare anybody, how about Hitler?

Don't mention 1984 or Brave New World, government schools outlawed them long ago. You know how they hate competition.

John David, age 5, just started his first t-ball practice this week. Being home-schooled, he had no idea what "Line up!" meant.

We took that as a compliment.

That is just super!  Thank you for a smile for my day!  I am going to share this with friends, it is so good.

I wondered what it meant for a little while too but then I figured it out from context after seeing it a few times.

That's pretty fucked up right there.
Expect the idea to spread to other communist enclaves states.

BTW, California has always threatened homeschoolers with jail.  Each year when I'd send them in paperwork, they send back threatening letters saying how homeschooling was illegal.  Sounds like they're getting more serious about it, though.

Anyone who stayed after the second amendment was completely and utterly sodomized ignored all of the warning signs of the police state to come.

So has anyone found a membership list of any CA Homeschooling groups and used it to send out a targeted recruiting message for the FSP?

[Kat Kanning]

Russell and a bunch of people from SoCal FSP group attended a CA homeschooling conference and handed out literature.

Is California claiming that home schoolers are not teaching their children civics? Or just not the preferred version?

Apparently, the home schoolers aren't training them enough on these important subjects. So that the children become loyal subjects of the government.
