No, it makes no sense at all. The government has kids in government schools who “are not learning anything at all.” Why do they get a pass? Still the bottom line is this: Who’s kids are they?

It is a little ridiculous, but it makes sense since the government requires compulsory education for all children. So if they are not registered with the government as being schooled at all, then for all they know those children are not learning anything at all.

This is absolutely ridiculous! Why in the world does ANYONE ANYWHERE have to be told by this meddling, good-for-nothing government of ours how they should educate THEIR OWN CHILDREN! While I believe children should have an education, on the other hand why are we told they HAVE to get an education? It’s again someone else telling everyone what’s best for them and theirs. It’s every parent’s personal decision how and when to educate their children. Government – BUTT OUT. Get rid of the Department of Education and save us a ton of money AND get nanny bureaucrats out of our personal lives.

The Dept. of Education is a worthless waste of taxpayer money. They usurp states’ rights, insist on brainwashing our children, change America’s history by changing text books, and for generations have produced leftist teachers who move as robots to keep dumbing down and making Socialists of our children.
Americans need to take control of our educational system, fire or re-educate the teachers and investigate all books used in classrooms to get rid of leftist, Progressive books that are destroying our Constitution.
We need to eliminate the Dept. of Education, the IRS (flat or fair tax instead), and any other government agency that is proven to cause more harm than good. We also need to enforce our immigration laws and get rid of all politicians that support illegal immigration.

Let’s not forget that the Comintern of New York has given us such luminaries as Sheldon Silver, Charles Schumer, carpetbagger Hillary the hag and other worthies. Anyone remember Michael the mental midget Bloomberg? It doesn’t seem a stretch therefore that the constabulary arrested this menace to society in a state that never met a socialist cause it didn’t like. New York, as California, is in the vanguard of all the screwball ideas spawned on either Left Coast.

The state has no damn business telling parents how their children are to be educated, especially given the wretched performance of most public schools across the whole wide nation. These buffoons in Congress are and have been pushing the whole nanny state notion on us for much too long. Remember the words of H.L. Mencken (paraphrasing here): “…after carefully considering the problem, I’ve concluded that to solve the problem of education in America we should burn down the universities and hang all the professors.”

Rubicon is right in saying that the teachers’ monolithic union hates home schools, voucher programs, private schools, yeshivas, what have you. Why? Because it doesn’t begin to hold a candle to the high results all of them typically achieve. What is coming out of the teacher training academies is not the best of our intellectual gene pool. Teaching self-esteem, safe sex, social conformity, besotted ideas that we should behave like social insects do not an informed populace make. But if one is of the go- along- to- get- along type with no discernible mental pedigree, then the educrats’ union offers a haven to the untalented.

Throw that stupid sheriff and all his lickspittle lackeys out!!! I am so glad that my wife and I paid the price to put our children through parochial schools. They are doing just fine and know how to think, not what to think.

Chastising them “MIGHT” have been in order. But arresting them was over the top of logic. I agree… it is incomprehensible one can abort a child w/ no government or even parental involvement, but according to this, one must ask permission to home school their own child. Disproportionate legal burdens placed on those who are not politically correct according to an political establishment concept of lockstep obedience to the state. The education establishment hates home schooling. It endangers union teacher jobs. That kids who are home schooled do better infuriates this establishment.
Why is it a law like this is enforced, but over 80% of illegal aliens entering America, who subsequently break even more laws w/ false documents to obtain jobs, etc. are going unpunished? Illegal aliens who “DO DO jobs Americans would do, if greedy employers paid a reasonable wage.

Until each one of us takes back full ownership and responsibility for our lives and property. It is as impossible to “vote” yourself free as it is to spend yourself rich. The constitution is a fraud.

The American people will try once again to vote out representatives that no longer represent us and vote in new representatives in the hopes that they will hear our voices. How many times must we do this before we get back to constitutional basics and get rid of all the crap that these leaders have put on our backs.

1. ALL victimless “crime” laws in this nation need to be revised/and/or thrown out.
2. The entire education system needs to be returned to the States and to the people. The Dept. of Education should be dismantled/defunded. The federal government has NO Cpnstitutional authority to direct the education of American citizens.
3. The sheriff is responsible for PROTECTING citizens from this abuse, not engaging/enforcing it. VOTE ‘EM OUT!

WELL, I DO NOT HAVE SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN ANYMORE, MINE ARE GROWN AND THEY HAVE CHILDREN GOING TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS NOW. IT IS A SHAME THAT ALL CHILDREN CANNOT BE HOME SCHOOLED THESE DAYS WITH ALL THE INSTRUCTION IN SEX EDUCATION GOING ON ALREADY AND NOW THEY ARE GOING TO EDUCATE THEM ON HOMO SEXUAL AND BI SEXUAL RELATIONS DOWN TO SHOWING THEM PICTURES AS TO HOW IT IS DONE. AND NOT ONLY THAT, CHILDREN ARE GOING TO BE TAUGHT THAT ABORTION IS A GOOD THING. AFTER TEACHING THEM TO HAVE SEX THEN THEY ARE GOING TO TELL THEM IT IS OK TO GET RID OF THEIR DISCRETIONS BY ABORTION.
MY BELIEF IS THAT THIS SORT OF THING IS A PARENTS PLACE AND RIGHT TO DISCUSS WITH THEIR OWN CHILDREN AND EDUCATE THEM ON BEING CELEBUTE UNTIL MARRIAGE.I SUPPOSE THAT WOULD DEPEND ON A PERSONS FAITH AND RELIGION, BUT IT IS STILL NOT THE GOVERNMENT OR THE SCHOOLS PLACE TO TEACH THIS TO OUR CHILDREN.
