I have made a point to point out judges who overstep their bounds when it comes to homeschooling. From a
of its freedom to homeschool, these judges really rile me up. We
homeschool our daughters, but as a conservative, I also believe it is
the right of every parent to determine how their children are raised.
Now, it’s happening again, this time in North Carolina.
Today, on WorldNetDaily,
an article is reporting that Judge Ned Mangum is the latest in a
growing line of judges deciding they will determine what is best for
children, not their parents. Judge Ned Mangum, presiding over a
divorce, has determined that even though the children, ages 10, 11 and
12, are all at least two grades ahead, it would be in their best
interest to be re-inserted into the public school system so their
mother’s “narrow” views won’t harm them. This invasion of rights,
coming from someone sworn to uphold the Constitution is nothing short
of treason.
Everyone involved in this case, from the judge to the father of the
children and his attorney, all acknowledge that the children are
receiving a premium education and are years advanced of their peers.
No one doubts the mother’s love and care of the children. The only
concern they have expressed is that they children may not be receiving
enough “socialization” in the process. This despite the fact that the
mother has them involved in several activities, including a swim team
and church.
It’s not as though these children have never been in public school.
They have only been homeschooled for the past few years. Before that,
they were in the local public school system, where they struggled. The
mother pulled them from that atmosphere so they could have the best
possible education. They have excelled since, catching up and passing
their peers. This, though, is not good enough for the adulterous
father and treasonous judge.
Is this important to those outside the homeschooling community? You
better believe it! While it may attack homeschooling today, it could
impact other rights in the future. And, if Sen. Diane Feinstein has
her way, the U.S. will adopt an UN treaty on children’s rights, which
will effectively strip parents of all rights and decisions regarding
their children.
So, I hope you’ll join me in expressing outrage at Judge Ned
Mangum. Most of the time these judges are unelected officials and
removing them from office can be very difficult. The time may have
come to begin accusing these so-called “defenders of freedom” of
treason and having them arrested to remove them from office. We cannot
allow the judges to trample our rights and steal them from us. Demand
they do their job and defend freedom and personal rights.
