It's time to take some action.
Within recent weeks, something has been brewing over in California, something that could affect homeschoolers across that state and beyond if nothing is done to stop it. The negative impact involving families goes beyond the scope of understanding considering what type of power those elected could execute.

Here's the gist:
"On February 28, 2008, the Court of Appeal for the Second Appellate District in Los Angeles handed down a very bad decision regarding a case involving a homeschool family. HSLDA was not involved with this case, and the family are not members. The opinion holds that homeschooling is not a legal option in California. HSLDA strongly disputes this interpretation of California law. We believe that the court made a mistake when it relied on a decision from 1953 in order to show that homeschooling is not a legal option.
If the opinion is followed then California will have the most regressive law in the nation and homeschooling will be effectively banned because the only legal way to homeschool will be for the parent to hold a teaching certificate." [emphasis mine]
Please sign the petition linked on the side of the page, because, like alluded to, this situation could get out of hand rather easily. But we have this one reminder: God is in control of it all. All are encouraged to sign, not only those associated with homeschooling; this could just be a stepping stone to include other areas such as public and private schools in imposing more restrictions.
And be in prayer for all those involved, that the Lord of all things may be glorified.
We've been through these types of things before, and we can pull through again unscathed with the Lord's help.
