Home schooling is the most dynamic and innovative segment of K-12 education. But even with technological advances, co-ops and hybrid schooling, taking on that level of individual responsibility for a child’s education is difficult.
One particularly difficult problem for home school families in Virginia and elsewhere is competitive sports, particularly in high school.
A private non-profit organization, the Virginia High School League, governs high school sports for public schools in Virginia and determines eligibility for participation. Home-school and private-school parents pay taxes for the public schools, but their kids are banned from participating in local high school sports run through the government schools.
For private school kids, that’s not typically a major problem; they have enough students to field teams and schools for their own league. But home-schoolers, especially in rural areas, don’t have those numbers. And that means they are out of luck.

The problem isn’t the Gooferment closing home schoolers out of sports.
The problem is Gooferment Skrules, period.
In so many dimensions, the Gooferment running Skrules is wrong.
It violates the First Amendment. (I’m force to pay taxes to teach other people’s children things that both their parents and I disagree with. How immoral is that?)
Nuke the Gooferment Skrules and eliminate lots of problems.
Does ANY one think that parents would educate their children?
