Do we not live in a nation in which judges apply the laws enacted by the legislature? What does this judge not understand about the separation of powers? Okay, I'm boiling! I certainly hope HSLDA has become involved in this one.
That personal reaction aside, I will pray for this family. The stress this poor mother and children are being placed under is huge and completely unfair.
Peace,
Nancy

This is the first that I have heard about this and it makes me so angry. The comparisons that this judge makes between a homeschooler and a child that is abused is totally out of line, to say the least. Why does he have to send that message that "parents can't be trusted".
We here in NJ we have enjoyed homeschooling freedom in many ways, but it is easy to see that may not be the case much longer by the way some people are talking about it. I really have a huge problem with big brother checking out my curricula. I know I want to concentrate on living a homeschooling life without interference. I don't think it is anyones right to take that freedom away and I know I do not have anything to hide. Does anyone else feel this way? I can't even come close to being articulate right now. Some words that come to mind are so very hard to spell after this long day!
Ok rant over...time to pray...

This is just how I feel. I homeschool because I want the best thing for my family. I really resent the idea of being checked up on...what's right for my family isn't necessarily what's right for my friend's family or anyone else's. How can that ever be measured? I think it's such a mistake for the government to get involved in the specifics of homeschooling. OK....I'm done ranting too!

This is infuriating!  Praying that this judge is made to follow the law and for a change of heart in the father. Why would he want to put his kids through this?!

This is NOT RIGHT!
I'd be preaching to the choir if I started ranting...so I'll pray instead.

Grrr. This isn't the first time a disgruntled spouse has used the anti-homeschooling tactic to get at his/her ex-spouse. I get so angry when parents put their personal desires before the needs of their innocent children.
Prayers forthcoming.

I just received this info from our NJ homeschoolers site...they said to pass it on, so here it is...
"I have just received a phone call from ________. I have been good friends with
her and her family for years. She has asked me to put out an e-mail to the
homeschoolers, because she is concerned about how her case has been represented
in the media.
She appreciates all the prayers, and the support for her family. But, she
really wants everyone to know what a huge victory this is for her, and for all
homeschoolers.
Basically, the judge was a liberal, but he gave her a complete win!!! As it
stands now, the judge has kicked the ball out of the courtroom, and left her in
a great position.
Her estranged husband wanted the kids in public school, then she was given the
option to put them in a Catholic school. She declined both, and the judge had
the power to force her hand, but as it stands now, she can continue to
homeschool without any interference whatsoever from the schools.
She was prepared to submit the kids to portfolios, and yearly testing etc..if
she had to, to continue homeschooling, but the reality is that she can continue
as she was, with no supervision from the courts. She is aware that
homeschoolers are always looking out for each other, and for any new laws,
regarding our rights, and basically she just wanted everyone to know what a
great triumph this was, and how none of us would get that by reading the
articles floating around.
Anyway, I told her I would put this out there to reassure everyone, and I am
sure that we are all grateful, and relieved for this beautiful family."
