Please Sign the Home School Petition

Here's a little more info on the California Home Schooling crisis. The HSLDA (Home School Legal Defense Association) site has an online petition that they are asking people all over the country to sign.

Here's the link to their site.

When you get there, click on the link about the California problem and if you feel so inclined, sign the online petition. They offer a little explanation of the legal options.

As you know, this started out with some type of legal action brought about towards one homeschooling family, and ended up with some major legislation from the bench that made all home schooling in CA illegal.

The family involved is appealing the decision to the CA supreme court.

Meanwhile, the HSLDA is working on formally petitioning the CA Supreme Court to "depublish" the opinion. The petition they are asking people to sign is to help them with their goal of "depublishing" the opinion.

The HSLDA site says:

If the opinion is “depublished” then it cannot be used by other California courts and this threat to homeschool freedom will be neutralized for other California homeschoolers.
