Just when I’d got my blood pressure down to healthy levels, this kind of shit (from Britishland) gets published and back we go to 500/400:
Parents who homeschool their children will be forced to sign a register or face possible prosecution, according to government proposals.
The Department for Education plans to hold a register of all children not in mainstream schools in a bid to protect them from ‘dangerous influences’.
The move will help crack down on religious fundamentalists who send youngsters to secret schools where they are at risk of radicalisation.
We all know where this regulation is aimed: at Muslims who want to turn little Abu Buma into Abu Ben-Bomba. The only problem, as always, is that the law won’t be used against Muslims, ever — but it will be used, often, against conservative parents, Christian parents, and anyone, in fact, who dares to raise their children to be intellectual, inquisitive and independent (precisely the qualities that all state education systems seek to eradicate). All that is dangerous to the control freaks and nannies who infest our modern-day bureaucracy, and don’t for a moment think that they’ll hesitate to brand it thus.
What time does the range open?
“…will be forced…”
Slavery.
If you’re going to have compulsory education, then you need some way of telling a truant child from one who is in some alternative to the State’s propaganda regime.
Colorado has something where home schooling parents file paperwork. My wife handled it (we home-schooled through the 5th grade).
And I disagree that this is *aimed* at the Mohammedans. That’s the assertion. It’s *aimed* at the small government crowd. Those are the real danger to the state.
“And I disagree that this is *aimed* at the Mohammedans. That’s the assertion. It’s *aimed* at the small government crowd. Those are the real danger to the state.”
That was my first thought, too.
It’s just another assertion by the State that it is THEY who own the children, not you.
The children in Primary School MUST learn that buggery is beautiful, lesbians are lovely and that various sexual deviations are ‘normal’. If a little boy of 8 years of age decides that he wants to be a girl or a girl of the same age decides that she wants to be a boy, then the State will facilitate this without the permission of the parents, it appears.
This song is appropriate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IpYOF4Hi6Q
