GETLIBERTY.ORG | The Future of our Bureaucracy is at Stake

Hat tip to Kim du Toit.

The Other Side of Kim du Toit

"Across the nation, homeschoolers have demonstrated academic proficiency above that of their public-schooled peers — and that those results are independent of parental credentials. Thus it becomes clear that any opposition to allowing “uncredentialed” parents to homeschool is based purely on ideological motives, not with the child’s best interests in mind.

ALG Perspective: This case is a brilliant example of the utter stupidity of judicial activism. Homeschoolers have a solid track record of well-above average performance nationally, and are fitting into society just as well as their public schooled peers. For the state to attempt to deny parents the right to homeschool is laughable, if it were not such a threat to their rights.

The real motives of those who oppose homeschooling are to perpetuate the government education bureaucracy and support the teaching unions, not to promote the education of our children."

I like your blog. :) I was the homeschooler in the article that you posted. It's a real blessing to see people standing up for homeschooling.
