Should Homeschooling be illegal and parents be credentialed to teach? Article & Poll

This was forwarded to me today by another homeschooling parent. As the quote says we just care about parental rights and not having a premium education, obviously this gentleman has not been in a majority of NM schools and has never been to a homeschool fair or conference:

Today's Parade Magazine (an insert in most Sunday papers) includes a
poll about whether or not hsing should be illegal. Titled "Should
Home-Schooling Be Illegal?," I found it rather inflammatory. There's
also the quote, "[T]he [California] case 'pits those who believe
parental rights are paramount against those who place a premium on
well-educated children.'"
As if hsers don't place a premium on well-educated children. Sigh.

If you are so inclined, take the one-question poll at www.parade.com
Click on "Intelligence Report" on the left down the page.
