Dana, thank you for keeping us informed on the homeschooling issues. I first heard about the California case on Sunday through my local homeschooling loop, and came here first to check out the details. This is the first time I heard there was any history of child abuse. So thanks for all the research you do.

The umbrella illustration seems especially accurate in Colorado, where parents can use an umbrella school to oversee their home education program rather than dealing with the school district directly. I wrote a little about this topic a few months ago in my post Alternatives to HSLDA.

November 2007 does seem like a good point to jump in…I just wasn’t sure that anyone actually knew what was going to come up. It is more typical for a court to rule specifically regarding a particular family, isn’t it?

Hindsight is 20/20, I guess, and it would have been nice for those who are able to do something to know as soon as possible. But this case has so many issues attached to it, I don’t know for sure where anyone would have realized where it was heading.
