You know the case where the judge decided “Parents do not have a constitutional right to home school their children?” Well, it’s going to be reheard and has been voided until then. So, Californian parents feel free to teach your children without fear that your breaking the law.

A state appeals court will reconsider last month’s controversial decision that said parents who home-school their children must have a teaching credential.

The 2nd District Court of Appeal in Los Angeles granted a rehearing Tuesday, essentially voiding the 3-0 decision until it rules again. The decision will now allow home-schooling organizations that had blasted the decision to weigh in.

The case centered on a Southern California couple, Phillip and Mary Long of Lynwood, who home-schooled their eight children through the Sunland Christian School in Sylmar. The family came to the attention of Los Angeles County social workers when one of the children claimed the father was physically abusive. The workers learned that all eight children in the family were home-schooled, and an attorney representing the two youngest children asked the juvenile dependency court to order that they be enrolled in public or private school as a way to protect their well-being.
Ruling that the parents had no right to home-school their children because they weren’t credentialed as teachers by the state, Justice H. Walter Croskey pointed to a similar 1953 appellate court decision.

The Feb. 28 ruling was also denounced by state schools Superintendent Jack O’Connell, who said that traditional public schools may not be the best fit for every student.

I’m glad the state came out in favor of homeschooling and he’s right, school can’t handle every type of learning needs especially if you’re a Christian and want your children taught with a Christian worldview not a secular one.
