A California state appellate court judge has said "Parents do not have a constitutional right to home school their children.".
We don’t need it, you idiot. We have a natural right to home school our children. We hold this truth to be self-evident. the Constitution, and specifically the Bill of Rights is not anything like an exhaustive list of the rights of individuals, but is meant as a modest hedge against oppressive government encroachment like the nonsense you are trying to pull. You can’t expect the founding fathers to list everything that people have a right to do.
I want to join Mark Shea in encouraging active resistance to this ruling… street protests, walk-outs by public school families who support the home schoolers, bake sales… what have you.
Here is Governor Schwarzenegger’s web page, through which you may e-mail him. Below is traditional contact information. Tell him what you think, but be more respectful than I am in this post. Heh.
