“California courts have held that … parents do not have a constitutional right to homeschool their children,” Justice H. Walter Croskey said in the 3-0 ruling issued on Feb. 28. “Parents have a legal duty to see to their children’s schooling under the provisions of these laws.”
Parents can be criminally prosecuted for failing to comply, Croskey said.
“A primary purpose of the educational system is to train school children in good citizenship, patriotism and loyalty to the state and the nation as a means of protecting the public welfare,” the judge wrote, quoting from a 1961 case on a similar issue.

“barbara streisand”
Just whose children are they?
We may have eliminated the plantations. But the slave masters are still in power.
I find the gooferment’s intrusion into “eddycation” particularly onerous and troublesome.
It’s brainwashing the way the gooferment “educates” its future sheeple … err “citizens” … in the love of the gooferment. A self-fulfilling prediction.
Enough is enough. It’s time for the Separation of Education and State!
