OC Register: CA Police State Project

I just came across this wonderful gem of an article from the Orange County Register in California:
I'm not sure how the Free State Project is going in New Hampshire, but the Police State Project appears to be advancing rapidly here in California.

He's talking about the fact that the infamous "Activist Judges" of California have recently effectovely declared home-schooling to be illegal. Shocking.

I would simply point out that in New Hampshire, we started the push for a Constitutional Amendment that would prevent this kind of Statism, in the form of CACR23. It's short and very sweet: The State shall not abridge the right, role, or responsibility of parents to control the welfare and education of their children.
Sadly, the measure did not pass this time. Rest assured, we'll be pushing for it again next year!

Also, of course, I would point out that here in New Hampshire, not only is Home-schooling legal, there are a bunch of organized homeschool activists working to expand those freedoms. One of them is Dawn Lincoln, an FSP early-mover and the Chair of the NH Liberty Alliance. Working closely with Don Gorman from the NHLA, she coordinated the drafting of a bill, HB 406, and found a liberty-friendly State Representative to sponsor the bill. This bill reduced the "red tape" regulating homeschooling, removing the requirement for the State to review and approve homeschoolers' curricula.

Again, as Free Staters moved in, they helped Dawn by contacting their Representatives and giving testimony to the legislature. In this case, though, Dawn and many dedicated homeschoolers did all the heavy lifting. Dawn's bill was signed by the Governor on March 13, 2006. New Hampshire is now a much less restrictive place to homeschool your children, if you so choose, and to set your own curriculum without the approval of the State.

Needless to say, the educrats were livid, and they're trying now to scale back that legislation. Those educrats are being strongly opposed, but more help is needed.

When are you going to come join the fight?
