Carteret Homeschoolers
Four children ages 9, 7, 5 and 3 from a homeschooling family in Notre-Dame-des-Bois in Québec, Canada have been ordered into public school for socialization. The Roman Catholic family, who have been homeschooling their children for four years, were reported to the youth protection services (YPS) for neglect and had a four-day trial in November 2010. The judge in the case, Judge Nicole Bernier, ordered that the children remain in school or in day care until YPS officials approved a plan for socialization. However, because of apparent bias against homeschooling and these parents, this is unlikely to ever happen.
HSLDA of Canada, a sister organization to HSLDA, has invested significant financial resources in the family’s defense. In a press release, Paul Faris, president of HSLDA of Canada, expressed dismay over the outcome.
“This is a shocking decision,” said Faris. “Even more concerning is the judge’s decision to order the younger children who were not of compulsory school age into day care for socialization.”
Faris believes the family was denied a fair trial.
“The judge refused to hear expert witnesses and evidence regarding the value of homeschooling over public schools,” he said. “Unfortunately the judge placed excess weight on protective service experts who found that one child’s hearing impairment ‘indicated’ that the parents could not be trusted and therefore all the children should be enrolled in public school programs.”
What on earth is going on here Brock. I was educated in a public school but BEFORE Progressives got their filthy hands on the educational institution. By the time, I reached high school level, they were digging their hands into the pie but since I was an honor roll student, they failed at every attempt to indoctrinate me.
ReplyDeleteI remember having a time of it in college because I did not fall in line to the beat of several professors. I was lucky.
Today socialists are so empowered that they have the audacity to feel justified pulling our children from our homes and placing them into re-education camps.
“Unfortunately the judge placed excess weight on protective service experts who found that one child’s hearing impairment ‘indicated’ that the parents could not be trusted and therefore all the children should be enrolled in public school programs.”
What is is by any name is still a re-education camp.
This is a war worth fighting.
