This week, there was a big win for parental and individual rights in – of all places – California. The state's Second District Court of appeals reversed its decision from earlier this year that would have made all home-schooled children in California truants in the eyes of the law.
This outrageous ruling said that the parents of 166,000 school-age children were breaking the law because state law dictates that children must be taught in full-time public or private schools, or by tutors with educational credentials approved by the state. It amounted to a de facto illegalization of homeschooling.
Thankfully, I wasn't the only one incensed by this unconstitutional ruling by the activist judges of the Second District Court – the protest from homeschooling advocates and local politicians was deafening.
As you'll recall, I predicted back in April that – and I quote – "the only good thing about this ruling is that it is so wildly unconstitutional that it's almost guaranteed to be kicked up to the next highest court … I'd be stunned if this ruling wasn't eventually overturned at some level."
As it turns out, the leftist activist judges – out of touch with average Americans, as usual – stirred a real hornet's nest with this one, and had to reverse themselves!
Schooling you in the truth of politics and medicine,
William Campbell Douglass II, M.D.
