The California 2nd Appellate Court in Los Angeles has ruled that the First Amendment religion clause does not apply to parents who want to homeschool on the basis of religious beliefs. In an opinion which eerily sounds like the law written by Adolph Hitler still in use in Germany today, the court found that a parents wish to homeschool because they do not agree with the teachings of the state is not reason enough for the state to allow them to do so, regardless of the fact that the California law states just that. They determined that the states wish to teach student to conform to society overrules the parents wishes, no matter how degraded the society becomes.
Recently in California, the legislature passed, and Gov. Schwartzenegger signed, a law that not only makes it appropriate to teach alternative lifestyles such as homosexuality and transgenderism, but makes it a crime to teach in a way that would make someone from those groups uncomfortable. Because of this, several groups are calling for the exodus of over 600,000 children this year from the California public schools. This courts misinterpretation of the law, actually outright activism, is an obvious response. The court is, in effect, telling those parents that they do not have a choice.
Homeschooling is growing in America. With the slouching morals of public schools, complete lack of discipline in the classroom and the ever falling intellectual output, more and more parents are making the decision to teach their children themselves. Statistics prove over and over that homeschooled children fare better on college entrance exams and in college classrooms than those educated in the public arena. Yet, school boards and the teacher's union are in a constant battle to have homeschooling outlawed.
This latest move by a liberal, activist court in California is surely approaching the final straw. While there is still the call for exodus from the classroom, this along with other actions taken in California over recent decades, leaves me to make a call for a different exodus; leave the state and let's give it back to Mexico. With such newsworthy cities as San Francisco, Berkley and Hollywood, would we really lose that much if we ceded the whole state back to Mexico? These fortresses of liberalism have surely proven that the state no longer wants to be part of this great nation. With leaders like Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer and Diane Feinstein, among others, surely they would do better under Mexican rule. They would certainly be popular!
So, show this court that you will not allow them to take your God-given rights, as citizens and parents, and move from that darkened state. Leave them to their deviate lifestyle and anti-Americanism. There is nothing left there, nor anything redeeming.
