Court orders Christian
homeschooler to attend Public School. Says that her Christian faith was a "bit too sincerely held and must be sifted, tested by, and mixed among other worldviews."
Below is a link to the news article...
A Christian homeschool girl in New Hampshire has been ordered into government-run public school for having "sincerely held" religious beliefs.

Thanks for the link. What makes this story bigger than just home school v. public school is a divorce. "As part of parental custody hearings, a court-appointed guardian..." When you put your kids in the hands of the court to decide what is in their "best interest." You may be giving up more than you know.
I think the court is out of line however the father is probably pushing this, and the court is left to make a decision because mom and dad can't figure it out on their own.

Re: Court orders Christian
Yes, I would think divorce and the Dad is what put this in the courts. I seem to remember another case similar to this a year or so ago. Think it may have been in NC?
Here's the link to the NC article. It was actually this year.

Re: Court orders Christian
NH case- should be overturned.
NC case- note FATHER does not want to pay homeschooling expenses.
Both cases judges appear to have ruled without just cause.
California case cited in post #3 link was different, although not generally reported in general media, court was trying to save kids from an abusive situation. Unfortunately it used the wrong legal argument.
Family court judges are given more broad discretion that any other court, HOWEVER, since all the kids in NH and NC were performing above standards and seemed to be well adjusted socially, a good attorney should be able to get them reversed on appeal.

Oh, and as far as looking like Jakes, the easiest way to tell us apart- I am a white guy wearing black, and he is a black guy who likes to wear white.
Other than that I can understand your confusion.
