Government Kid Grab

A California appellate court has decreed that the government can take your children away at gunpoint if you dare to home school them.

California has ordered your children to Government Indoctrination Centers whether you like it or not. If you dare teach your children yourself, they will be taken from you, and you will be prosecuted.

This is a law fit for Hitler's Germany or Stalin's USSR.

I should be flabbergasted that an alliance between government and special interest groups (The California Teachers Association) can go so far against everything America stands for, in such a brutal and in-your-face way. But I'm not. It's been coming since the first smoking ban, helmet, and seat-belt law.

They took away the business owners rights of control of their businesses. It's no surprise that they've moved to taking away parents' rights of control of their children.

I am fully convinced that there is NOTHING "our" government won't do, there is no faith it will not break, there is no right it will not violate, there is no moral it will not offend, there is no sin it will not commit to increase it's own power and that of its pets & masters, special interests.

Once there was a Constitution that protected "the people" from just this sort of encroachment. But today, it is simply an old document, a curiosity, offered for your viewing pleasure at a museum along with other outdated and forgotten remnants of the past.

This goes too far, this is an assault on citizens, their families, their freedom, their privacy, their self determination, their right to liberty and their pursuit of happiness.

There is no doubt this will go to higher courts. But unless this decision is blasted and rejected with appropriate remonstration and outrage, we will see it again, creeping it's way into the bosom of our homes and the lives of our families. As will many more even more egregious "laws" to control every aspect of our lives.

If you don't think this is important, because you have already abandoned your children to the indoctrination and failure at government "schools", think again. If you imagine that the government's hunger for control will be assuaged by this bloody mouthful of your rights, please read a book, and understand that you are on the brink of serfdom.
