Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger today issued the following statement regarding the recent Second District Court of Appeals ruling on home schooling:
"Every California child deserves a quality education and parents should have the right to decide what's best for their children. Parents should not be penalized for acting in the best interests of their children's education. This outrageous ruling must be overturned by the courts and if the courts don't protect parents' rights then, as elected officials, we will."
I didn't think that one judge's ruling can instanly change state law. (but I am so bad with understanding politics)
BUT we still need to be vigilinat and pray for continued freedoms. I'm glad the Govenor cleared this up and hope he's true to his word and keeps homeschooling legal in Cali!

Go, Arnold! :-)
I'm relieved to hear of Gov. Schwarzenegger's press release too. Like you, I think vigilance is still needed. It seems like the trend is for government to become bigger and more intrusive in people's lives. Couple that with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (which has not been ratified in our country - yet), and not only homeschooling, but lots of other parental decisions, could be in trouble!
