#1 From the same article:

"This isnt a new law argued and debated by the legislature, but a ruling from a state appellate court. 'Parents do not have a constitutional right to home school their children,' wrote Justice H. Walter Croskey in a Feb. 28 opinion signed by the two other members of the district court.

Well, there you go. No eminated penumbras here; the Constitution requires that your child be educated by the state."

In one fell swoop this judge, who is know to be a teachers' union tool, has assuaged the two groups that comprise 99% of public school teachers' unions:

1. The ones got into teaching for 30 years bulletproof income security and a pension, and literally nothing else, and

2. The ones who got into teaching because it was a bully pulpit for advancing anti-Western, anti-Christian, anti-Capitalist propaganda.

Follow the link to the LA TImes article at Lileks' site, and then read some of the comments from public school teachers concerning this decision. Juxtapose the attitude present with Lileks' take on the relative levels of tolerance for blowing up recruiting stations vs incidents at abortion clinics.

Scary stuff, eh, kids?
