Why Home-school Regulation Won’t Stop Child Abuse By Jennifer Lade - February 25, 2018
After reading with horror the case of the California couple accused of torture and child endangerment, I knew it would only be a matter of time.
Attention would soon turn away from the atrocities David and Louise Turpin allegedly committed against their own children. It would turn toward blanket policies that restrict innocent people in an attempt to legislate away evil.
In this case, the focus is on homeschooling, because the Turpins were homeschooling six of their thirteen children, ages 2 to 29.
A California bill proposed on Feb. 16 by Assemblyman Jose Medina (D-Riverside) would require city and county fire departments to conduct annual inspections of all registered home schools in their areas.
