Decides children need more 'focus' despite testing above grade levels

A North Carolina judge has ordered three children to attend public schools this fall because the homeschooling their mother has provided over the last four years needs to be "challenged."

The children, however, have tested above their grade levels – by as much as two years.

The decision is raising eyebrows among homeschooling families, and one friend of the mother has launched a website to publicize the issue.

The ruling was made by Judge Ned Mangum of Wake County, who was handling a divorce proceeding for Thomas and Venessa Mills.

From the article -

"On her website, family friend Robyn Williams said Mangum stated his decision was not ideologically or religiously motivated but that ordering the children into public schools would "challenge the ideas you've taught them."

So parents have no right to teach their kids their values? Wow, what has the U.S. come to? This should alarm anyone who cares about liberty and personal freedoms.

That article shows some pretty scary stuff. The only bright spot is that the judge is going against legal precedent.

Or perhaps the gubmint and judiciary know better than you . . .

The divorce was due to the father's adultery and guess who doesn't want the kids home schooled any more? And guess who had to undergo a psychiatric assessment? Yup, the "crazy" mother who brought these kids up to their "2 yr. above average" standing . . . .

Ya judge, ya done really good there . . . what an a--hole. There are obviously a few benches with holes cut in them to accommodate what sits on them . . .
