They used to say, "As Maine goes, so goes the nation." Now (unfortunately), it's more like "As California goes, so goes the nation" -- which Ray says we need to worry about because a California appeals court has ruled that homeschooling of children is illegal unless their parents have teaching credentials from the state. What makes the goverment think it knows better than us what's best for our children?

I ask you
Do kids have rights?
From what I have read since your obfuscating diatribe, this is not a death knell for home schooling in CA.
From Homeschooling assoc in CA
"
The administrator of every private school must file an affidavit with the Superintendent of Public Instruction between October 1st and October 15th of each year.
Private school instructors must be "capable of teaching." There is, however, no requirement in the CA Education Code that mandates that teachers in a private school setting hold a state teaching credential or have the equivalent training.
The names and addresses, including city and street, of the faculty must be kept on file, as must a record of the educational qualifications of each instructor.
Instruction must be in English.
Instruction must be offered "in the several branches of study required to be taught in the public schools." The materials and methods you use to teach these areas are up to you. Subjects required are as follows:
Grades 1-6: English, math, social sciences, science, fine arts, health and phys ed.
Grades 7-12: All that is included in the above plus: foreign language, applied arts, vocational ed and drivers ed."
I would think you RW's would especially like the "instruction must be in English" part
From what i can see the state of CA is trying to protect the kids right to an education.
The teacher unions applaud this decision, but they did not instigate it.
Your hatred for unions is amazing. Especially since you exempt the police and firemen unions from your scorn.
