The knee jerk critics of public education, including our local contingent, are quick to propagate any story that appears to put our school systems in a bad light.  Too quick.

A story spread around the anti-public education sphere today under headlines such as   "Parental Rights Die In California," "Education or indoctrination," You vil go to our skools und you vil like ti," "CA Judges: "Parents Have No Constitutional Right to Homeschool.""  The source of all this panic is a post by Bob Unruh on WorldNetDaily: "Judge orders homeschoolers into government education Court: Family's religious beliefs 'no evidence' of 1st Amendment violation."  One glance at this site and post is all it should take realize that this is not a reliable source.  Here are excerpts of the original post:

At the end of this article is an excerpt of the court case that precipitated the court case the FundeVangelists claim is usurping their right to homeschool, which details the family whom the judgement went against. 

A filthy house, chronically filthy children,  ultra-strict 'morality' enforced by corporal punishment, and a gun-nut father who molests his daughters are the salient points.

It's interesting that the WingNut writer and others who have jumped on the case ruling on the unconstitutionality of homeschooling haven't mentioned those little tiddy-bits...

Yes, funny that no one quoting these cases ever bothers to mention those facts. That discredits their argument just a bit.

And, Ick!!! These people are sick. I feel sorry for their kids.
