HOMESCHOOLERS WIN LANDMARK CASE
Purcellville, VA—In a 3-0 decision the California Court of Appeal for the Second Appellate District reversed its earlier ruling which would have required homeschoolers to be certified teachers in order to homeschool in California. “This is a great victory for homeschool freedom,” said Michael Farris, one of the team of attorneys who argued the case before the court and Chairman of HSLDA.
"I have never seen such an impressive array of people and organizations coming to the defense of homeschooling. The team effort was remarkable," he added.
...The Governor and Attorney General of California also supported a parent’s right to homeschool before the court. “Tens of thousands of California parents teaching over 166,000 homeschooled children are now breathing easier this afternoon,” said Farris.
Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) is a 25-year-old, 85,000 member non-profit organization and the preeminent national association advocating the legal right of parents to homeschool their children.

We need to be watchful for these court cases that are continually attempting to take away our rights to homeschool or homebirth! Heck, if we let 'em they'll take away our home grown tomatoes and home baked bread rights! Love & Peace, Rosie
