Homeschooling under attack in the most liberal of states, which it seems is also wants to be the most totalitarian.
Your summary makes it sound like a legislative action, when it really was a court decision.
JA,
My summary? How so?
“Totalitarian” makes no distinction on branch of government except that the government moves to encompass/touch all of your life (government is “total”).
You write that California “wants to be the most totalitarian,” but really it’s just some judges making an interpretation of the law. If Roberts and company decided that Roe v. Wade is wrong, would it be fair to say that the U.S. “wants to outlaw abortion?”
JA,
Fair enough.
Although, if Roe v Wade is overturned the fair statement would be the US wants the states to self-determine their abortion position (recognizing that there are indeed regional differences at work).
Mark,
I’d bet less than 10% of Americans genuinely care about states rights. Hardly anybody supports them on both abortion and drugs, for example.
Thanks for the link Mark! Hopefully the CA Supreme Court overturns the decision. At this point, homeschooling families are scared that if they go outside during the day they’ll be turned in.
Personally, I don’t think the courts decision will be enforced until after the Supreme Court makes a ruling on the appeal. I know several families who will leave the state if the ruling is upheld.
Al Mohler recently commented on the situation too.
