Under the crazy justification that the woman who killed her three children in DC “pulled her children out of school”, the Superintendents Office is proposing new regulations that would make the District one of the strictest locations for homeschoolers in the nation.

The new regulations would “authorize public school officials to make home visits several times a year, mandate the subject areas families cover and require parents to submit evidence that their children have been immunized.”

The best part is that it gives “the education administrators the authority to order children back into the public system if they were unsatisfied with their parents’ competency or to start a remediation plan if they don’t agree with the students’ work portfolio.” Of course parents don’t have the right to take the $20,000 spent on their child in a government school and go somewhere else if the the public system is failing their kids.

It’s obvious that the Establishment has been waiting for some excuse to go after homeschoolers if they’re reaching for such a lame reason. Meanwhile, 90% of DC’s 4th graders were less than proficient in math (2005). Government school operators are highly motivated to ensure they can effectively fuck up our children’s futures. We can’t have parents actually giving our kids an education.
