For years, HSLDA and other organizations who watch both state legislation and judicial temperament have warned us that we'll be seeing an increasing hostility to our right to homeschool. And now that our federal government is anything but predisposed to parental rights, favoring instead the rights of the state to determine what's best for a child in medical, educational, and even religious decisions, we can expect to see more and more events like this:
Wake judge orders home schoolers into public classrooms
Raleigh, N.C. — A judge in Wake County said three Raleigh children need switch from home school to public school. Judge Ned Mangum is presiding over divorce proceeding of the children's parents, Thomas and Venessa Mills.At least the judge is being honest about his motives. Many are going to drag out the socialization excuse in order to avoid charges of religious discrimination. However, I fear that there will come a time when religious discrimination will be perfectly acceptable and won't need to be disguised. This guy is just ahead of his time...Venessa Mills was in the fourth year of home schooling her children who are 10, 11 and 12 years old. They have tested two years above their grade levels, she said.
"We have math, reading; we have grammar, science, music,” Venessa Mills said.
Her lessons also have a religious slant, which the judge said was the root of the problem.
