Earlier this month, the Los Angeles 2nd Appellate Court ruled that parents do not have a right to homeschool their children. They ruled that the state is the sole provider of quality education and parents are required to place their children in these state controlled indoctrination centers. This ruling has gotten ire up of homeschoolers across the nation, California Governor Arnold Schwartenegger, the California legislature and several US legislators.
This week, the court agreed to rehear the case at the request of the parent, their umbrella school and the Governor, among others. Rather than hear the arguments of those involved, though, the court wants to hear from several teacher's unions regarding their opinions on homeschooling. I suppose they would also want to hear Karl Marx's opinion on capitalism if that were the case!
The absurdity of the court's request is a simple slap in the face of homeschoolers everywhere. Aside from this court, I can't imagine a more corrupt body in the US. Teacher's unions across the nation are bought and paid for by extremists, namely the gay and lesbian community. That hits at the heart of this case.
In my opinion, this case arose because of the recent bill passed in California; the bill that forces educators to impress only positive teaching on gays upon children. In response, Christians and family advocates across the state have called for a mass exodus from public schools. It was after this call that this case came to the forefront, with this court deciding to scare hundreds of thousands of parents out of pulling their children out to homeschool. Now, they are partnering with the corrupt teacher's unions to achieve their goals.
The fact that this court feels it can get an unbiased opinion out of the teacher's union on this case strikes at the heart of the agenda of this court. Add to that the fact that they refuse to hear from the umbrella school, or any other advocates for homeschooling, and you get the picture of how similar this court is to old Nazi Germany. Germany, in fact, still has Nazi-era laws on the books regarding homeschooling, and currently jails parents and kidnaps their children for the crime of homeschooling. This court is trying to follow in their footsteps.
It has become more than apparent that families are under attack in California. California is no longer a family-friendly state. They have let extremist groups take over and decide law, whether Constitutional or not. The time for exodus from the state is upon us. I suggest the rest of us do all within our power to help those who want to abandon this rogue state to leave. In fact, we could offer it back to Mexico in lieu of amnesty for illegals.
It is my hope that someone with some common decency will step up and put this court in its place. They cannot be allowed to strip average, hard working people of their rights, no matter what extreme agenda they have. They should be removed from office and disgraced for their embracing of extremist ideas, those which go against the very grain of American fabric. These are the type of courts that need to be overturned as un-American for viewing the wishes of extremists over rights of normal people.
When will we determine enough is enough?
