Talk about Timing: CA Courts “Legalize” Homeschooling
Posted by Duane Lester on Aug 11th, 2008 • 276 Clicks

On the day that I publish my hard hitting history of the threats to homeschooling, a California court goes and does this:

A state appeals court lifted the cloud it had cast on the homeschooling of 166,000 California children and ruled Friday that parents have a right to educate their children at home even if they lack a teaching credential.

After an outpouring of protest from homeschooling advocates and politicians, including Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Second District Court of Appeal in Los Angeles reversed its Feb. 28 ruling that could have reclassified most homeschooled children as truants.

OK, so they actually did it Friday, but still…

BEHOLD THE AWESOME POWER THAT IS THE ALTERNATIVE MEDIA!

Or it could just be a case of great timing. Either way, this is great news for homeschoolers in California.
