The current CA Homeschooling case

There is a wonderfully robust argument going on at two of my favorite blogs: Principled Discobvery (this is just her most recent - she's had LOTS to say about it) and The Common Room , both in response to the recent California court ruling against homeschooling and to a certain Stephen Downes.

If you aren't already reading these blogs, you should! At the very least, check out this debate. Even if you aren't a homeschooler, the issues being discussed at a high level (parental rights vs. the State's rights) are important.
