Today I received this from Mimi Rothschild, founder of Learning by Grace.
California families are now engaged in the biggest crisis to hit homeschooling ever! And if this ruling passes through the appeals process, over 160,000 homeschoolers will be forced to go to public schools, move out of the state of California or be labeled as truants and have their parents potentially face criminal charges.
At http://www.ReverseTheRuling.com, you can learn more about this shocking issue gaining momentum throughout California, spread the word to other concerned families, retrieve information on how to e-mail your congressional representative, and practice your civil right to oppose this ruling by signing the petition and having your voice heard!
Parents, children, homeschoolers, public and private school students; this pertains to all of us. We hold certain rights guaranteed to us in the Constitution of the United States that our forefathers fought for – now it is our turn to participate in the fight for freedom!
If you value family rights, such as your ability to decide on the well-being and education of your child, click on http://reversetheruling.com/signthepetition.htm and sign the petition that acknowledges your civil involvement in righting this horrendous wrong.

Please take the time to sign the petition. This ruling may not only affect California homeschoolers, but could have far reaching implications. It will only take a minute to sign and remember, it’s not just an issue of homeschooling, but an issue of your parental rights.

Hi there - yup, signed the petition yesterday - it’s scary to think how fast it could happen to other states as well
