I know a lot of parents are panicking about the California ruling that appears to outlaw homeschooling if the parents are not credited teachers.

Ace of Spades thinks that might be reading too much into the ruling, which he thinks is very narrow.

I don't know what I think, since I'm not a lawyer, but I hope he's right.

In the meantime, this comment by Sunniemom on his post seemed apt:

Are we supposed to believe that families must have the state's permission to direct and determine the education of their children (uhm.. does this count potty training?), or practice their religion, or limit television viewing and computer games, or eat Fruit Loops for breakfast (considering the state does have a vested interest in the health of its citizens)?

BTW- when were judges granted the power to invent laws? Can we get Judge Croskey to do something about menopause and cellulite?

Anyone want to take a ride down this slippery slope?
