Teach Your Children Well: There Is No Law but Might and Murder
This is the lesson that the United States government -- the government of the historic progressive, Barack Obama -- taught the children of America today: "Children, the law is nothing but a rag smeared with blood and sh*t. "It is only for suckers, rubes and losers. "Claw your way to the top -- by any means necessary -- and the law can never touch you. "This is the American way." Yes, as the Washington Post reports, the United States government announced today that there will be no penalties whatsoever for the lawyers who were ordered by their superiors, George Bush and Dick Cheney, to write memos "justifying" the tortures that Bush and Cheney wanted to unleash upon captives held indefinitely without charges, without evidence, without trial, without rights.. » read more

Judge: Teaching children 'basic right no country has right to violate' In a decision bound to send a shock wave through the European Union, a federal immigration judge today granted political asylum in the United States to a German family whose members feared persecution if returned to their home country because of their decision to homeschool.

Criminal background checks proposed for homeschoolers
Plan called most 'overbearing law in the English-speaking world A proposal in the British Parliament calling for mandatory criminal background checks for parents who want to homeschool their children is the most "overbearing law in the English-speaking world," charges a U.S. advocacy group. "This bill is breathtaking in its scope and reflects a perverse level of suspicion towards parents who home-educate their children," said Michael Donnelly, a staff attorney and director of international relations for the Home School Legal Defense Association. The group is the world's premiere advocate for homeschooling and has been active in cases in Europe as well as the U.. » read more

Hearing for homeschooler forced into gov't system
Judge: 'Lost opportunity' if child's Christian views not challenged in public setting Nov. 24, 2009 The New Hampshire Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case of a 10-year-old homeschool girl who has been ordered into a government-run school because she was too "vigorous" in defense of her Christian faith. As WND reported, a girl identified in court documents as "Amanda" had been described as "well liked, social and interactive with her peers, academically promising and intellectually at or superior to grade level." Nevertheless, a New Hampshire court official determined that she would be better off in public school rather than continuing her homeschool education. The August decision from Marital Master Michael Garner reasoned that Amanda's "vigorous defense of her religious beliefs to [her] counselor suggests strongly that she has not had the opportunity to seriously consider any other point of view.. » read more
Achtung! Prosecutor says only jail deters homeschooling
Nov. 23, 2009 Achtung! Prosecutor says only jail deters homeschooling A prosecutor demanded jail time for two parents accused by German authorities of homeschooling their children, and he erupted in anger when the Nazi foundations of the ban on parents teaching their children at home was cited. Juergen and Rosemary Dudek of Archfeldt, Germany, were given 90 days in prison last year because they homeschool their children. They received the sentence after prosecutor Herwig Mueller asserted it was the only sufficient punishment for the family's "crime," appealing a lower-court order to issue a fine. Ultimately, the sentence was thrown out on a technicality, and the Dudeks now are revisiting the court process and Mueller's renewed demands, according to the Home School Legal Defense Association.. » read more

That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on socialism. All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A. After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B.. » read more
