Thread: U.N. protocol used to regulate homeschoolers

Actually, as critical as I am of my Government, one of the things America does reasonably well is protect children. Sometimes that means protecting them from their own parents. Some of the people we have who insist on educating their own children are real nutjobs, and the children would be much better off in a public school. Also, schools are the primarily source for identifying and getting help to children who are being abused at home physically and sexually. Most of the people I've met in America who were involved with child welfare were good and dedicated people doing a difficult job as best they could.

^From the looks of the Obama Govt increase, it will surely be tried to implement such a law into being.
And due to the parasitic nature of all state and local authorities involved in welfare and child protective services in the USA I am one that hopes it never makes it out of committee when such bullshit laws are forced on the American People.
But as a lawyer, I can see why you would welcome such a revenue generation apparatus as such horse shit being place on the books.

Actually I think the discussion was about whether or not to allow this in Britain, and it's already allowed in most of the US. The police can and will enter your home if they believe a child is in danger of mistreatment, and school employees are guilty of a crime if they fail to report suspected child abuse or neglect. I don't understand your statement that this has anything to do with revenue. It has to do with assuring children receive an education and are not abused. My experience as a lawyer has left with with an intense distrust for government, but there are some real low lifes that have children and who abuse them. The government should take children away from parents who mistreat them, neglect them or are to wacked out to know what is good for them. Government exists for a reason, and it's one thing to protect a child from harm, it's quite different and intrusive when government tries to protect adults from themselves.

Protection is one thing, authoritarian tyanny and overlording is another.

Without bullshit laws on the books there would be less ways for the Legal Eagles to fuck over the common man at rates well over $500 per hour.
