Homeschoolers in the Chicago area are getting quite a rude awakening. The superintendent of schools is sending squad cars out to people's homes to demand that they attend a 'pre-trial' hearing. The hearing will demand that homeschoolers prove that they are in compliance with the law?

Whatever happened to burden of proof? And why does education have to be government sanctioned anyway? Whatever happened to the good old pioneer days and one-room school houses? There was no gestapo going around making people prove their compliance with the law. This is typical fascist intimidation tactics. Heaven forbid someone should want to pull their kid away from government hands.

Nevermind the fact that home-schooled kids usually get a much better education. When is the last time a government school kid won a national spelling bee?
