Fascist America - CA Judges Orders NO Homeschooling !

In a case that's almost guaranteed to have repercussions throughout the
country, California appellate judges ruled that one family's
<http://www.hsc.org/>children
could not be homeschooled and must attend a
government school or accredited private school. One step closer to Nazi
Germany is here ! With our Oligarchy system judges tell us how our
children
will be raised and educated, as judges are just an extended arm of the
Federal
Government. All are so corrupted now there is no hope of ever seeing any
real
justice or moral rulings.
The court's decision is the result of a civil case brought against
Phillip and
Mary Long regarding the education they provided to two of their
children. The
Longs currently have eight children in their home, all of whom they've
homeschooled. Homeschooled children have proven to be more intelligent
and
well behaved and educated with real education that they can use for life
and
are better prepared for college ! Homeschooled children have won the
national
spelling bees for the last eight years !
Phillip Long told us that he and his wife will probably appeal the
decision to
California's Supreme Court (yeah good luck with that), since they've
homeschooled all of their children, the oldest now 29, because of various
anti-Christian influences in California's public schools. [The California
schools are now all homo***ual schools by law.]
"Homeschooling is endowed upon parents by our Creator. The state of
California
or the federal government have no right to tell parents how their
children
should be taught," said Phil Long in a telephone interview with us. In
fact
it is an order by God for parents to educate their children !
This latest court decision granted a petition brought by attorneys
retained by
so-called "child advocates" to represent the two youngest Long children
after
the family's homeschooling was brought to their attention.
However, the Long's children did not have any say in their
representation by
these attorneys. While the lawyers claimed to be representing the
interests of
the children, they actually were representing the California education
establishment. Critics say this is proof positive that in the eyes of
bureaucrats parents and families have no rights regarding education.
According to information provided by Phil Long, the trial court had
found that
keeping the children at home deprived them of situations where they could
interact with people outside the family. They also stated that there are
people in the public school system who could provide help if there's a
problem
in the lives of pupils. A judge in the case also said that children in
government schools could develop emotionally in a broader world than the
parents' "cloistered" setting.
The appeals ruling stated that California's law mandates that "persons
between
the ages of six and 18" to be in school, "the public full-time day
school,"
with exemptions being allowed for those in a "private full-time day
school" or
those "instructed by a tutor who holds a valid state teaching credential
for
the grade being taught."
The panel of judges ruled that the Long family failed to demonstrate
"that
[the] mother has a teaching credential such that the children can be
said to
be receiving an education from a credentialed tutor," and that their
involvement and supervision by Sunland Christian School's independent
study
programs was of no value.
According to the Longs, the family's religious beliefs were not given
ample
weight in the case.
The court claimed the Longs' "sincerely held religious beliefs" are "not
the
quality of evidence that permits us to say that application of
California's
compulsory public school education law to them violates their First
Amendment
rights. Such sparse representations are too easily asserted by any
parent who
wishes to homeschool his or her child," the court concluded.
Phillip Long said his family is working on ways to appeal to the
California
Supreme Court, because he will not permit the pro-homo***ual,
pro-bi***ual,
pro-transgender agenda of California's public schools to indoctrinate his
children.
"We just don't want them teaching our children. They teach things that
are
totally contrary to what we believe. They put questions in our children's
minds we don't feel they're ready for," said Mr. Long during the
telephone
interview with NWV.
"We're going to appeal to a higher court. I don't want to put my
children in a
public school that teaches "ideologies" (IF you can even call them that)
I
don't believe in," he said.
"Children belong to the parents, not to the state," Long said. He also
acknowledged that there's a great deal of misinformation about the
status of
homeschooling in California.
Many observers believe this is merely the beginning of a movement to
totally
ban homeschoolng because the California Legislature and Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger worked together to establish Senate Bill 777 and Assembly
Bill
394 as a law that institutionalizes the promotion of homo***uality,
bi***uality, transgenderism and other alternative lifestyle choices
within the
public school system.
"The reason homeschoolers are under attack is obvious. NEA and the
Homo***ual
lobby wants them in public schools to indoctrinate them. Homeschooled
children
are not brainwashed with homo***uality, the myth of global warming,
globalism,
etc. Homeschooled children are still innocent and that can't be allowed.
Therefore, attacks on homeschoolers will undauntedly escalate across the
country unless the Christian community wakes up," said conservative
strategist
Mike Baker.
"[California] law at first allowed public schools to voluntarily promote
homo***uality, bi***uality and trans***uality. Then, the law required
public
schools to accept homo***ual, bi***ual and trans***ual teachers as role
models
for impressionable children. Now, the law has been changed to effectively
require the positive ****trayal of homo***uality, bi***uality and
trans***uality to 6 million children in California government-controlled
schools," said one homeschooling advocate.
There are no similar protections for students with traditional or
conservative
lifestyles and beliefs, however. Offenders will face the wrath of the
state
Department of Education, up to and including lawsuits, according to legal
experts.
"SB 777 results in reverse discrimination against students with
religious and
traditional family values. These students have lost their voice as the
direct
result of Gov. Schwarzenegger's unbelievable decision. The terms 'mom
and dad'
or 'husband and wife' could promote discrimination against homo***uals
if a
same-*** couple is not also featured," said Baker.
"Having 'mom' and 'dad' promotes a discriminatory bias. You have to
either get
rid of 'mom' and 'dad' or include everything when talking about [parental
issues]," he said. "They [promoters of ***ual alternative lifestyles] do
consider that discriminatory."
"I shudder to think how millions of California children will be led
astray,
how marriage will be destroyed, and how immorality will step on the neck
of
morality if Arnold Schwarzenegger signs five anti-family bills into law.
The
'Terminator' has less than two weeks to sign or veto very bad bills!"
said
Randy Thomasson, president of <http://www.savecalifornia.com/>Campaign
for
Children and Families.
Thomasson is disappointed with California's Christian pastors and
elders. In
the last five days, many individuals and several businesses have
responded to
CCF's action alert. However, to date, only one church has faxed in veto
letters to the liberal Schwarzenegger's office in Sacramento.
"This is not right, since the majority of pastors in California oppose
***ual
indoctrination of schoolchildren (SB 777 and AB 394), oppose demeaning
marriage (AB 43 and AB 102), and oppose forcing the
homo***ual-bi***ual-trans***ual agenda on businesses, organizations, and
churches (AB 14)," said Thomasson.
"Distracted drivers cause car accidents; distracted pastors may
accidentally
assist anti-family bills to be signed into law. The Governor will notice
our
loud voice or our relative silence. The choice is [ours]," he added.
"Young children will be led astray, the definition of marriage will be
irreparably harmed, and cherished freedom of conscience will be trampled
if
Arnold Schwarzenegger signs these bad bills into law," said Thomasson.
"Too many Americans find themselves without church leader****p on social
issues
that threaten the very foundation of western civilization," said
conservative
activist Michael Baker.
"More and more Americans are asking 'Where are the pastors? Where is the
moral
leader****p?'" Baker added.
Mike Baker said he believes most church pastors and conservative
political
leaders are cowards who fear the wrath of the mainstream news media and
the
venom of liberal-left activists.
"Pastors especially have allowed themselves to be bullied by people who
are no
better than heathens. Conservative politcians fear the bad press they
would
get from the likes of the New York Times and Wa****ngton Post," Baker
said.
"Private citizens are doing the work that pastors and church leaders
should be
doing in fighting the good fight on behalf of our most vulnerable
citizens --
American children," Baker added.
Hearing about the Long's dilemma, one California homeschooling mother
[who
wished to remain anonymous] said that she went to her pastor asking for
the
church's involvement exposing the courts determination to end
homeschooling in
the state, and was told to her dismay that the church would not get
involved
citing Romans 13. She was told "We'll pray on it." I also prayed, which
led me
to come to you for help, she replied.
Exodus Mandate, a national advocacy group that urges parents to remove
their
children from the public school systems, has launched a California
affiliate
in the wake of passage of SB 777. The
<http://www.californiaexodus.org/>California
Exodus project has
<http://www.exodusmandate.com/>been
endorsed by a coalition of Christian
organizations.
California isn't the only state beginning to clamp down on homeschooling
families. For instance, in Oregon the state legislature has made
grumblings
about children not under their control because they are homeschooled and
not
exposed to indoctrination, according to public education critics.
One man who has been at the forefront of fighting for parents rights is
Jack
Alan Brown, a key figure in the <http://www.jackbrown.org/>Constitution
Party
of Oregon. An avowed conservative, Brown set out to collect signatures
on a
petition that would lead to a referendum placed on Oregon's election
ballot.
The referendum would ensure that parents' rights to educate their own
children
would be recognized by the state as sacrosanct.
"I believe that the phrase 'parental rights' involves two critical
ingredients
-- one is stated and the other is implied: parents and offspring. It
links
those two ingredients in a relation****p that has rights imputed to one
party
of that relation****p without denying that the other party has rights as
well,
i.e., saying that we believe in parental rights does not mean that only
parents have rights, said Brown.
"Parental rights is a plural phrase, because it has numerous aspects.
Parents
have the right to honor and obedience from their offspring, but the
passing on
of their value system to their offspring is not only a right, it is a
responsibility. Providing shelter and sustenance is a responsibility.
Developing the moral character of one's offspring is not only a right it
is a
responsibility. Developing skills of one's offspring for survival as an
adult
is not only a right it is a responsibility. To interfere with the
exercise of
one's responsibility is as dastardly as interfering with the exercise of
one's
rights," he said.
Brown adds, "The majority of the participating voters of this state,
through
initiatives and through their elected representatives, have forcibly
taken
away the rights of parents to oversee the upbringing of their children,
and
have also restricted their rights to contract. We can only remedy the
situation when we repeal all compulsory education statutes and eliminate
mandatory public financing of education."
Unfortunately, Brown fell short on the number of signatures collected.
But
he's vowed to continue to fight for parents' rights and the rights of
children
to be free from indoctrination.
