Homeschoolers have the Right to Free Choice!
Posted by msterilinn on Mar 12, 2008
As a homeschooling parent, this really hits home with me. We have the right to choose how, when, and where to educate our children. It is totally appalling to deprive us of our rights as free human beings. I take the teachings I provide or seek for my children quite seriously, and will fight to give them the best education, as all loving parents should. Unless I am causing true harm to my child, no one has the right to take this away from me, or my child. The reason I am bringing up this subject, is a recent development concerning homeschooled children in the State of California.
Let me show you a recent press release..
Reverse The Ruling - Homeschoolers Unite
(PRWEB) March 11, 2008 — Homeschooling activists across the nation are calling to “Reverse the Ruling,” targeting the recent opinion published by California Justice H. Walter Croskey that parents “do not have a constitutional right to homeschool their children.”
On www.ReverseTheRuling.com, education activists have been separating fact from fiction, and schooling the general public on the recent events relating to homeschooling in California, as well as working with homeschoolers all across the nation to gather over 100,000 petition signatures demanding that this ruling be reversed.
“Homeschooling has been a freedom practiced long before the Constitution captured our inalienable rights, with many of the Declaration of Independence signatures coming from men that were homeschooled. Our opinion is quite clear,” said Mimi Rothschild, leader of ReverseTheRuling.com “Parents are responsible to train their children to the very best of their ability and to teach them all they believe to be true. Parents are blessed with children, and obligated to care for all aspects of their children’s lives, including who, what, where and how they are educated.”
Since release yesterday, the ReverseTheRuling.com petition has been inundated with signatures, Ms. Rothschild and other activist are encouraging those that oppose this ruling to be active – signing as many national petitions as possible, gathering information and writing about their experiences on such sites as www.ReverseTheRuling.com

Dear Teri,
I came across your website as I was browsing and wanted to tell you about something that I am involved in.
I am writing on behalf of ParentalRights.org, an organization dedicated to preserving the irreplaceable role of parents in the lives of their children. Although American tradition has always recognized parental rights, this critical right has recently come under assault. Today, the child-parent relationship is endangered by both federal judges who refuse to recognize parental rights and international law that which seeks to effectively undermine parental rights.
Nothing short of a constitutional amendment is needed to eliminate the federal and international threats to the child-parent relationship. It is for this reason that ParentalRights.org is devoted to having parental rights explicitly protected by the Constitution itself.
We cannot accomplish such a major goal, however, without the support and help of those who recognize the crucial nature of parental rights. Please look at the issue carefully and consider taking leadership by supporting this campaign.
You may help spread the word through your blog by doing these three things:
1) Tell your readers about this effort and encourage them to sign the petition:
https://www.parentalrights.org/petition
2) Add a ParentalRights.org button to your blog link:

3) After adding the button, you may also join our blogroll:

On behalf of ParentalRights.org, I thank you for your support!
