I am not in CA.! This petition is for ALL to support home schoolers in CA. HSLDA wants to present this petition to show the amount of support from all over the country!
Ezriel, you can go to wnd.com and just look for California school articles, they seem to be the only ones really reporting on it. Check them out
I don't recall asking anyone's opinion! The legislation DOES!!!!!! make the sexual manner of others a part of the curriculum for CA. I don't know what that person is talking about! If you don't like it tough! This is a free country and the citizens DO have certain rights! Nobody cares if you don' t want to sign it, it is just being made available to those that do want to sign it!
I don't understand why people live in America and bash or wine about what our citizens do that is considered our "free right". If the system still allowed faith from ones religions, they wouldn't have these problems! People have the right to teach their children facts! Not theories based on human similarities to primates! Or life was created by a bang in the atmosphere! It is not factual!
I have this right and I will fight for it whether it is for my family or to help another family keep their right to teach their child at home as long as they are actually following the requirements that are given to them. As far as "refugio's" statement, kids that are actually public schooled score lower on entrance exams than a home schooler! It is all about doing what is required! Your statement shows that you are not informed and need to do more research before you pass judgment!
Let me note that this is the right of a parent to choose what is best for their children! NO parent should be forced to send their child to the school system without a say in what is being taught to them! THIS IS ABOUT OUR RIGHT TO CHOOSE!
For those that are doubting the "forced sexual curriculum" check out the CA law that is up, SB 777! This is all that needs to be said on the subject. It is real people. The sexual doctrine is even supposed to be started in elementary school!

The decision is of course asinine, but, not being a California resident, I don't have a dog in this fight. Best bet: talk to your people in the California legislature; this needs a legislative rather than a judicial fix.

Based on the data presented, I have "signed" it.

I believe as long as the basic legal criteria for the basic things children need to learn are met, and the children are NOT taught overtly illegal actions that physically harm other individuals, the government has no right at all to force one mode of education on all. One education doe not fit all, anymore than one size of clothing fits all.

My children had the benefits of public schools, home schooling, and a protestant church-run large certified school, at various times. All were beneficial in their own ways, but having home-schooling and church-affiliated schooling before the majority of the public schooling was very beneficial to the children, and gave them a big head-start over the kids who got the public school education pablum all the way.

I do have to admit there were problems, since they were farther advanced in many areas such as language skills and science and music than their contemporaries who had just the public schools to teach them.

The public schools did not know how to handle advanced knowledge levels. And tended to sit on them as disruptive rather than teach them more. But they learned quickly to pretend dumb in the public schools. Only harmed them somewhat!

Refugio...

California often sets the tone for much of the U. S. in terms of legislation and court decisions.

This is of great interest to anyone in the U.S. who homeschools.

Here is a link that gives details about what is being talked about in regards to school agenda...

I've signed it.
Oddly this is the first I've heard about that decision. How horrible, soon they'll start telling us how many kids we're allowed to have.
