Attack on Parental Freedom in California‏

Dear Friends,

The state of California is in the process of immediately trying to make homeschooling illegal. This could affect families as early as next school year.
Even if you are not a homeschooling parent, I ask for your support for home school freedom, parental rights and the direction of our courts.
We have several family friends in California and several other friends moving there this summer that are very concerned, with reason, about this.
"California courts have held that ... parents do not have a constitutional right to home school their children," Justice H. Walter Croskey said in the 3-0 ruling issued on Feb. 28. "Parents have a legal duty to see to their children's schooling under the provisions of these laws."
Parents can be criminally prosecuted for failing to comply, Croskey said.
I would appreciate it, and so would other families, if you would sign the following petition through the HSLDA (Home school Legal Defense Association) and help protect our rights as parents.
You can help stop this threat to homeschooling by signing this online petition to depublish the Court of Appeal opinion at
Thank you for your support!
