Crazy California

There's been another story coming out of California that reaffirms that they are just Crazy out there! This one is about something that is near and dear to my heart, homeschooling.

A ruling from the California appeals court could subject the parents of 166,000 students in the state to criminal sanctions, if they don't meet certain state requirements or send their kids to government schools. Here we go again, we've been down this road before!

Right now the argument seems to be over the language of the state requirements, that is what constitutes a "private school" and credentialed teachers. I don't want to get into all the details and all of the rhetoric about best interest of the child, because there's just too much to go into.

This particular ruling concludes that the state provided no circumstance that allowed parents to school their own children at home! That means that those 166,000 students that are being home schooled, well, their parents got some 'splainin to do.

Get some popcorn, this is gonna be good!

Other crazy things about California:

*Using the terms 'Mom' and 'Dad' banned in public school setting

*Parents who spank are considered criminals

*'State interest' argued in teaching homosexuality

*State education chief pushes 'gay' pornfest

I'm telling you, instead of Eureka their state motto should be Deleterious, because they are Crazy in California!
