Ruling undermining homeschooling will be appealed to Cal. Supreme Court
Bob Unruh reports on WorldNetDaily:
A “breathtaking” ruling from a California appeals court that could subject the parents of 166,000 students in the state to criminal sanctions will be taken to the state Supreme Court.
The announcement comes today from the Pacific Justice Institute, whose president, Brad Dacus, described the impact of the decision as “stunning.”
“The scope of this decision by the appellate court is breathtaking,” he said. “It not only attacks traditional homeschooling, but also calls into question homeschooling through charter schools and teaching children at home via independent study through public and private school.”
Pacific Justice Institute has released this press release on the ruling.

Way to go, PJI!
I had the privilege to work with them last summer and they are a WONDERFUL organization. Home schoolers in CA are lucky to have PJI advocating on their behalf. I look forward to hearing the news of the CA Supreme Court’s reversal of this ridiculous ruling.
God bless!
I appreciate ADF’s continued effort at encouraging the concept of Christian marriage.
Activist judges, judicially legislating from the Bench and usurping the legitimate power of the legislative branch of government, are a scourge upon democracy, and by those black robed villains that have sworn otherwise, May their tribe decrease. I suggest for reading upon this subject “Coercing Virtue-The Worldwide Rule Of Judges” by Robert H. Bork.
