Home Schooling and the Constitution: The Baptist Press reported that a
California appeals court that controversially determined there is no
constitutional right to home school children has agreed to rehear the case
sometime this summer. The court had also concluded that, according to
California law, parents who provide home school services must be
credentialed. Estimates are that some 166,000 children are presently
homeschooled in the state of California. State law holds that each child
must be enrolled in a public or private school or instructed by someone
"holding a valid state teaching credential for the grade being taught."
Prior to the ruling of the appeals court on 28 February, a lower court
decision in California had determined that the right to home school
children is constitutionally protected.

That philosophy 'snipit' helped to get me, and my crew, through a good

It has also played a significant role in helping me to expose the
plethora of radical Christian propaganda and lies that we find at
almost every media turn.
