I knew with HSDLA involved, it was something that probably involved some type of fundie family. Great synopsis and thanks for clarifying!

I get twitchy at certain terms, fundamentalist being one of them, because I've yet to run across folks who can apply that term AND strict logic or compassion to their mindset(s), yet they shout all kinds of religious hyperbole from the roof tops and seem to expect good things to come from such actions. I recognized a couple of decades back that People Who Strive to be Ignorant are my biggest peeve. There seem to be ever more of them. (I'd contend that the Long family falls well past even fundys. ;o) On the other hand -- these people you spoke with about HSLDA -- I'd love to hear more should you care to share. The organization sounds compelling, as do the opinions on HSLDA. Doc - How very cool. I had no idea such an organization existed.

I think the organization is Christian Aid Ministries, and there's also a contingent of pretty conservative Mennonites, but nicer people I've never worked with in my life. I had the chance to discuss the California ruling with many of them (nearly all whom homeschool - giving them the freedom to go from disaster to disaster and help) and every single one of them believe that this is more a child abuse issue than a homeschooling issue, and agree with me that parents in California will continue to educate their children at home, as they have for decades. And interestingly enough, for people who travel, not one of them belongs to HSLDA; a few voiced concerns that HSLDA's agenda had less to do with homeschooling and more to do with badmouthing the government, interesting perspectives.
