Homeschooling Ruled Illegal in California
by Chris Jeub
We kid you not. A recent decision by a judge in a controversial juvenile court published a decision a week ago that states:
“It is clear to us that enrollment and attendance in a public full-time day school is required by California law for minor children unless (1) the child is enrolled in a private full-time day school and actually attends that private school, (2) the child is tutored by a person holding a valid state teaching credential for the grad being taught, or (3) one of the few statutory exemptions to compulsory public school attendance applies to the child.”
So, essentially, thousands of homeschool parents in the state of California are in violation of the law. The Home School Legal Defense Association plans to appeal this to the California Supreme Court. It amazes me how, when it comes to educating children, folks like this judge rely on government’s flawed system over that of families. The Jeubs will be keeping HSLDA in our prayers as they fight this ignorant decision.
To read up on this, visit the Christian Examiner here or a San Diego paper here. A petition is also being taken by HSLDA that they will use as leverage in their arguments (click here to sign the HSLDA petition).

HEY!! THANKS FOR THE SWEET COMMENT. I APPRECIATE IT. :)
AND I JUST READ YOUR PREVIOUS POST AND WAS CRACKING UP!! DON'T THINK OF IT AS A CONFESSION!! THAT'S WHO YOU ARE. MY HUSBAND IS A TATTOOED, EARRINGED PASTOR. HE DOESN'T DO IT TO REBEL. (THOUGH I KNOW SOME PEOPLE DO) HE COVERS HIS TATS WHEN HE PREACHES, AND TAKES OUT HIS EARRINGS. HE JUST LIKES THEM. AND HE THOUGHT MANY, MANY YEARS BEFORE HE GOT ANY OF THAT. AND GUESS WHAT, GOD LOVES HIM JUST AS MUCH AND USES HIM JUST AS MUCH AS THE MOST CONSERVATIVE AMISH MAN YOU CAN FIND! (I ALSO HAVE TWO TATTOOES...ONE OF THEM IS "JOHN 15:13"...) YOU KNOW WHAT, IT'S ALRIGHT TO WANT A MARTINI!! NOTHING'S WRONG WITH THAT!! (MY FAVORITE IS A CHOCOLATE ONE WHEN I'M ON A DATE WITH MY HOT HUSBAND) :) JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW YOU'RE NOT CRAZY!! YOU'RE NORMAL AND REMIND ME A LOT OF MYSELF....I HOPE THAT BRINGS COMFORT AND NOT DISAPPOINTMENT!! HEHE. :)
