Michigan: Bill Would Force Homeschoolers To Have Home Inspections by Social Workers

[euphemia]

Based on the article, it sounded like the woman killed her children, and then told everyone she was homeschooling them.

So logically, if she had told them they had moved to Nebraska to live with their aunt, this member of the MI legislature would be considering outlawing moving to Nebraska.

Exactly. Prosecute the crime. Make it about killing the children and trying to hide the evidence. That affects everyone, not just a select portion of the population.

Although the home school aspect would be fairly easy to check. Are there books in the home? What does the internet history say? Correspondence from an online school? It is practically impossible to home school and not have any evidence in the home.

Parents will be able to conveniently renew their annual parenting license during each inspection.

This is a typical case of action for action's sake.

Whenever we hear about something bad or disgusting, legislators are pressured to do something about it. It really doesn't matter whether or not what they do is reasonable. It also doesn't matter much whether it actually reduces the problem. The important part is that is appeases the masses.

Sounds like an excuse to get inside the homes. If they are worried the kids are dead, why not just have the kids show up at one of their public indoctrination centers twice a year to prove they are still alive?

I agree, but this is an area where there are differences between Democrats and Republicans. I'm one to say that Republicans are as big on gov as Democrats, but progressives such as yourself are more opposed to home schooling than liberty minded people. Your progressive brethren is much more likely to support big state institutions such as public education and labor behind them. You are often the ones hostile to home schooling and advocate this general brand of intervention.

Formal schooling is obsolete because of the smartphone.
